Oh, and Chris's Compressor does an amazing job of simulating a radio station compression. I bump the compression from .5 to .8 when I use it.

Not sure what you mean by "fluctuations" - do you mean the volume goes up and down? If so, try Chris's Dynamic Compressor. http://pdf23ds.net/software/dynamic-compressor/

See: Chris's Compressor, above.

I change the compression from 0.5 to 0.77, but I don't change any other settings. Excellent volume leveler. If you're happy with it, post a note on his web site.
