Or at least some statistically-relevant volume knobs. E.g. percentile or most recent peak.

EEs, correct me if I'm wrong, but the amplifier circuitry is digitally-controlled now, no? So hypothetically could be rapidly adjusted with low latency?

You could definitely adjust with low latency, but if your compressor attack and release are too quick, it will not sound right.

You want to keep some dynamic range but not too much.
