Many of us know these curves:
These are equal loudness curves for different sound levels. The so-called Fletcher-Munson curves (perception of human hearing). The effect associated with them causes, among other things, that the preset prepared in Fractal in studio conditions at a volume of e.g. 50-60dB will sound different under the conditions of concert sound system 100dB (for now I ignore the influence of various speakers in the satudio and on the concert - about this below) - in conditions high sound level we will usually "miss" the middle tones. This is of course due to the fact that for 50dB in the preset studio we will set the midrange will be about -15 to even -20dB "weaker" than the low and high tones. Whereas for 100dB this difference should sleep up to 10dB for high tones (and 0dB for low tones) - see the diagram above. So the sound set in the studio (preset) for 50dB will sound dramatically different at high volume.
Of course, we can improve the preset so that it sounds good in high volume conditions (boost the middle tones e.g. with GlobalEQ in the Fractal settings). But it is often difficult. There is often no time before the concert to fine tune the preset (especially if the concert is festival, there are many bands and you are not its star; D). Anyway, even having time to tune the preset on high volume is not easy and comfortable, because after a while high sound level causes "headache" and loss of perception of sound details.
Therefore, wouldn't FAS consider adding functionality to its products (rather than a block, only a position in global options, something similar to GlobalEQ) to reduce the impact of the Fletcher-Munson effect. I imagine that in connection with a particular output (Outpu1, Output 2, etc) we have a value associated with the target sound level. Then in the studio (at home) we define the starting sound level ("start level" - the sound level at which we create and tune the preset), while elsewhere (in the rehearsal room, during the concert = "target level") we set at one point only as far as the level of sound increases / decreases in a given location (+ 10dB, + 20dB, + 40dB, -10dB for the bedroom, ect). And then the Fractal software would "apply" to our preset so many changes in individual sound bands to try to minimize the Fletcher-Munson effect (i.e. convolution of the preset signal with something like an impulse response that is different between the FM curve for the "target level" "a" start level "). This functionality will probably not solve the whole problem related to changing the volume, but it will allow you to tune the sound much faster, e.g. before the concert in a new place and at a new volume.
Of course, a certain problem will be determining the "start level" value (at home), it would be ideal to have a level meter. But even so, setting it to a Sound Meter app on your smartphone will give you a pretty good initial point.
