Re: Passing the ACX test, BUT does it sound any good?

Do we have a sound sample without the Kaotica eyeball?

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

I found it beneficial to precede limiters and compressors with either Amplify or Normalize to put the show waveforms somewhere predictable before acting on them. In your case, it would eliminate the need to even premeasure the show sound. Amplify to default and then Limit the peaks. You know where ...

Re: SVN Checkout

That URL causes a number of older versions to download as well. I just want the source code for the current release. Just go to the GitHub address in your web browser. https://github.com/audacity/audacity There is a dowload link for the current source code in the right hand column. The current ZIP ...

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

It sounds like the rest of the song is way too quiet.
What is the peak level of the applause?
