Pro-L3 idea: Spectral limiting and priority EQ section
One idea for potential FabFilter Pro-L3 is spectral limiting, which might use the same FFT approach as FabFilter Pro-Q4's spectral dynamics but with psychoacoustic model (derived from lossy codecs like MP3 and AAC) to shape the gain reduction per frequency (e.g. masked parts received less gain reduction or something else)
Another idea for Pro-L3 is the priority EQ section, which could behave superficially similar to Pro-C3's sidechain EQ section, which depending whether spectral limiting is enabled or disabled, either changes how the spectral limiting process prioritizes certain frequencies (boosting these will limit these frequencies more aggressively and cutting these will "protect" certain frequencies at the cost of more reduction on other frequencies) or in case of spectral limiting being disabled, the distribution of faster transient and slower release stage activities per-frequency (boosting these frequencies will make the slower stage more active on these frequencies, or cutting these will make the faster stage takes over more on some frequencies)
