That's the idea. Even if it doesn't help, I want to listen to the effect with the filter applied.

Here's the idea. I have a clip that has been peak limited to the point of creating mild distortion. I want to un-peak limit it. I want to run Leveler upside down. When you hit this threshold, increase the gain by this much. The Compressor effect tries to help out by being gentle and smooth. I don't ...

Any time you have a speaker and microphone in the same room, you may get feedback. That's why the grownups all use headphones for live performance. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg So that's normal.

Straight old oxide cassettes "worked" (in quotes) but nobody would mistake putting music on one. Over the course of their production run, the material on the backing went through at least two upgrades, chromium and metal, and the recording pre-processing went through two different equalizi...
