Hi all: I'm using 2.2.2, HP OfficeJet, Windows 10. I... know there have been several posts on this subject, but here's another case of indigestion; I'm in the middle of a recording. So I stop.

Hi all; Lloyd Here, using 2.1.3 on a fairly new Windows 10 HP Laptop:
Could someone please explain what a "(soft) Limiter (with make-up gain)" is and how to achieve it and/or manipulate it specifically to achieve increases and decreases in recording volumes.
Thanks. Best to all.

Hi All: My question is, How does one control the recording volume as represented by the WaveForm (WF)? I am using Aud 2.1.3 on a Windows 10 System in a New HP Laptop and a professional Samson Mic specifically to create recorded verbal radio programs (reading of news, single voice reading) the comple...
