Compression.

This is exactly what im after too. seems like one of the basic principles of broadcasting and you cant even do it. Its standard to process the audio in the sence that you keep it below zero db, nice and tight with no peaks before broadcasting, especially seeing as were using digital here which doesnt do 0db or above.
As it is i have to set the input level at around minus 3db and hope it doesnt peak at any time and clip during a mix or a show. Having a compressor/limiter inbetween the line in and the shoutcast server would be perfect and i thought would have been somethign everybody needed and used already, but obviosuly not

the only way of doing it at the moment is get the input signal, plug that in the line in on 1 soundcard, route it into cubase so i can process it, then output it, and have to physically take the audio out from the soundacrd, put it into a line in on another soundcard and have shoutcast stream from that source. analogue, to digital, to analogue to digital again!
