Here is a test clip. It is completely without adjustments as requested.

If you install this De-Esser plugin into Audacity it will remove the loud sibilance ...

Those loud esses are one of the reasons it fails the ACX test.

So i wonder for fun if Audacity can take a image and play it as audio. Waveform view just gives volume variation, no pitch information. Need a spectrogram view as well to reverse-engineer the sound from the visualizations. Can make photo files into spectrograms, but the sound is just weird noises, ...

And for clarification, Chris's compressor does not truncate silence. That's something completely separate from compression. The old copy I have of Chris's compressor truncates accidentally if it encounters true-silence ... Old version of Chris's Compression truncates if it encounters true silencei....

I noticed that out of the box it has amount of 50%, attack of 5 ms, and the bar on the left is at zero (not sure what this is for).

Acx-check appears under Analyze, not Effect. You may need to go through the Add/Remove Plugins dance.
