Is this plug-in still needed or can it be done with the normal leveler? If you want a "mild distortion effect", then "Leveler" may be the effect that you want. If you want to "even out" the volume of voices in a recording without distortion, then, in my opinion, the &q...

"Amplify" always defaults to a peak level of 0 dB. That is not a user setting. "Normalize" allows you to set the peak level. If you set it to 0 dB then it will apply the same amount of amplification as the "Amplify" effect. Personally I prefer to leave a little "he...

The music was, at some time in its life, 11025 kHz sample rate. You can see that by the sharp cut-off in the spectrum at about 5500 Hz.Unless you have a better quality original to work from, there's nothing that can be done to fix that. The high treble frequencies are not there and no amount of proc...
