Description

Your idea

An auto leveler in the mixer would allow for all the instruments to be mixed properly and quickly depending on the volume of each instrument which would also change depending on the sound library that is used. It could work independentely from the score itself to where a push of a button lets it go through the common dynamics from piano to forte and levels out each instrument for proper blending. There could also be preset options to make the woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings louder or softer depending on the kind of ensemble the writer is going for. You would also have the option to level the whole ensemble if its too loud or too quiet as well. This feature could also be implemented either natively through musescore studio or through an official plugin for the mixer.

Problem to be solved

It would fix the amount of time it takes to tweek each instrument in the mixer to blend with eachother at the same dynamics.
