I remember that ProTools Expert had it advertising on their website at one stage (thought it looked very interesting) and they may have done a review of it at some point. It means you have to choose by hand where to "pre-slice" the audio clips by hand, but I always thought it looked like it could be a bit of a time saver for post production workflows (not a PP worker myself though). Somebody (can't remember who off the top of my head) makes an auto clip gain manipulation widget, that targets a preset level by automagically adjusting the clip gain on each slice of your track. Having said all that, if you have Audition on your computer, you could export the audio, process it in audition and then import back into PT and I find that doing this manually gives me best control over the final result(okay, I'm a control freak ) Having said that, as I said at first, I use Clip Gain to manually balance most of the dynamics as doing this makes the vocal hit the compressor more consistently, which yields a more consistent sound(especially when using a "character" compressor like SMACK!, which I really like on vocals). You can also stack more than 1 compressor(which I do on all my lead vocal tracks) as it tends to sound better with each doing modest compression as compared to a single plugin doing ALL the compression. Lastly, a compressor plugin can do this to a certain degree. A plugin such as Waves Vocal Rider can do it automatically(they often have sales so you can buy Waves plugins for very fair prices). Clip Gain is invaluable for manually adjusting loud or soft words and phrases(I use this method a lot). There are 3 ways(off the top of my head) to achieve this in PT with varying degrees of user effort.
