Maybe I will attempt again, but I am not sure with the delay I can adjust the levels quickly and precisely.
It was just a test attempt at making an AGC/ALC but I would love to have for the same type of purposes. Set and forget.
It worked by actively monitoring the levels, dropping gain if too high, raising if too low...duh like an ALC.

You are absolutely correct - presets are always kinda slapped together. That's why I usually mod them to suit my needs. E.g., should that extra output be gain or volume or an effect?
Your proposed approach is certainly feasible. I think it would work great for voices with quick attack, but not for voices with slow attack such as pads or certain processing such as reverse reverb.
I do think a boost/limiter downstream from your VSTI will help a lot.

What I have tended to do in the past is select an instrument preset with one hand on the volume knob. I could try a midi controller pedal to manually fade in every new patch to the levels required.
I have always wondered why the synth manufacturers / programmers do not make more effort to equalise levels. It seems that the more layers they use, the louder the preset is !

Why not update the presets?
I use VSTIs also and I have found that inserting a limiter at the end of the chain helps, too.
