Connect the Yeti, wait briefly and restart Audacity. Plug your headphones into the bottom of the Yeti. There's a headphone volume con...

Chris Capel designed "Chris's Compressor" to do exactly that. It simulates the audio processing in a broadcast radio station. You can put widely varying volume segments in and it sets them all to the same volume. Chris's expressed purpose was to make it so he could listen to opera in the c...
