There's a new de-esser plugin

So de-esser.ny supersedes DeEsser.ny? Or not? Maybe?

The new one is by Steve. It's a lot quicker to apply than Paul-L's if the problem is whistling at one frequency.
[ New one is single-band, whereas Paul-L's is multi-band ].

... Lastly, what's a good volume range to use in Audacity? Is it best to be close to 0.5 with volume spiked, or closer to 1.0 and volume down? Is there any real difference? Theoretically using the full-range, +/-1, will gave better signal-to-noise-ratio . However in practice using +/- 0.5 I don't t...

mp3 employs lossy compression: file-size is reduced (usually by a factor of ~5) at the expense of sound-quality.
No compression with WAV, (but file-size will be much bigger than mp3).

...You said to use Insane for when making an MP3 from an MP3. However, I should just use Insane in all instances? If you have to use mp3 format, (rather than WAV), and file-size doesn't matter to you, then use "insane" in all instances. When starting from original audio, (not mp3), I can'...

When I export as an MP3 from a project file, are the default settings fine ({Reset, Standard, Fast Variable Speed, Joint Stereo)? This is for a classical guitar. I just want the best quality possible. Like I said previously , use the "insane" 320kbps rate, (not "Standard"), for ...

Two methods I know of : by ear, or this plugin.

Thanks. Should envelope be used between tracks? Or just in general? Tracks of equal amplitude can subjectively sound much different, because of psychoacoustics , or the frequency response of the playback system. It's a case of trial & error. Is there a uniform way to bring volume levels down? T...
