Hey thanks.
Yeah actually I mean zones within the range of volume. For example expand from -20 up, but not touch below -20.
I thought one of the mastering apps had one and I’m considering getting one of those apps finally anyway and I hoped to cover both there. (not Sound Forge apparently?
Gads, after I posted last I got to thinking just that. The GUI's threw me at first as I was thinking the style that shows them as horizontal sections.The Sound Forge plugin does that. It would look like this:

The net result would be the expansion above -20dBFS and a reduction in gain sufficient to prevent clipping on a signal that already had 0dBFS peaks.
