Re: Change Tempo 2.0.6 vs 2.2.0

Re: Audacity 2.2.2 not detecting dropouts

Re: Not able to install audacity

I would strongly advise that you check the validity of your Audacity download before disabling your antivirus.

Re: Digital Disease ^ Limit the difference between two sampl

Sounds like you want a "multi-band compressor". "Calf Studio Gear" includes a multi-band compressor, but some versions crash in Audacity. https://calf-studio-gear.org/ "Zam-plugins" include a multi-band compressor, but I've not tried it myself. http://www.zamaudio.com/?...
