does anyone know of a quick and dirty plugin to level tracks to a certain LUFS or volume? I'm using Reaper, maybe there's something already built in. for clarification, think of it as I've downloaded 10 tracks, all different sources but I want to ensure they are all at a certain volume level.

In Reaper's Render section, there is a built-in leveling function that applies to everything passing through the Master Track. This function is located just above and to the right of the output format selection. Click the button and set the ideal parameters for your final master: Select LUFS (Integrated) and set the target value. For music streaming (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music), the recommended standard is -14.0 LUFS; for podcasts, it is -16.0 LUFS. Enable the Limiter: check the "Brickwall limit" box and set the value to -1.0 dB (or -2.0 dB if exporting to MP3).

There is also another method if you don't need a Project, or if you want to normalize multiple files. I'm including a link to a video so it's clearer than I could explain it with my English ;)
