Question 1. RMS compression question: What I did new was at threshold setting.. but should the threshold (when doing RMS compression) be set above the peak per plot spectrum analysis (if so, why?)? Which I guess (the plot spectrum value) is the RMS value for the peak [?]. Example: spectrum shows pea...

Thanks, --- funny in my effects menu [enable/disable effects] the hard limiter is still listed --- in fact a lot of stuff is listed I've since deleted and disabled --- ... any way to clean/clear that up?

Thanks Trebor but seems that would anticipate more distortion, as opposed to just one step.. {?].. Well actually I was using on segments as well, not whole song, so I'd have to even try to get the segment back at proper volume after that route.. I guess I could raise it -say 10 dB then use the limit...

Sorry about the big text/.. And thanks Robert, interesting.

I noticed on my MP3 player's EQ when listening to low quality podcasts that cutting the highest band of the 5 band EQ, and some of the 4th helps lower the screechiness.. though../??

Thanks Trebor and weird I have been using that, and that one, only recently, that is a great tool. I also went with sc4 on last song [first thing], set for peak usuage, throttling the ratio and or threshhold to do a similar task, bringing down the peaks first thing when editing. I think I maxed the ...

Looking for an easy to use limiter that goes past 10 dB/Was the hard limiter not included in Audacities new version 2.1.2? Or I lost mine somehow and can not find a DL.. Requesting help, thanks.

Thanks all, great, I'll experiment and Koz, you're probably right. That was more a trial and I agree, did seem overkill to the point of, well, not working? Also, I am working with one stereo track live acoustic guitar and vocal no dub recordings which is a challenge it seems, and probably a big part...

'lowering notes by decibel and hertz' Seems the EQ and compressor do not discriminate when reducing and lately realizing only certain parts of a song have a frequency too loud (I want to squash!) -- I'm thinking like a gate type EQ or compressor that will only lower parts louder then what it's set a...
