I just see the manual says "use Compressor instead" and I have never tried it. The built-in "Compressor" effect is a bit quirky, (dynamic compressors frequently are), but can produce good results. You'll need to play with it to get a feel for it, but it is reasonably well docume...

I guessed that and followed suit in calling it "Limiter" I've now corrected my previous post to say "Leveler".

I learned of someone who uses Steve's PopMute effect with certain settings as a compressor for voice recordings -- two or three times, alternating with amplification to a 0 dB peak. Is this a surprising unintended use? It's an unintended use, but not hugely surprising. Users frequently find novel w...

"Stretch" as the name of "StretchAudio.ny" is a little misleading for non-technical users If I recall correctly, "stretch" was the term used by the user that was asking how to "stretch" one track to synchronise with another. In non-technical realms, I think o...

Currently Audacity does not support multiple processors. Over the years there has been some exploratory work on this. Here is one of the older discussions: http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/multithreading-td2240954.html Also some work using SSE (http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/Requested-EQ-S...

Will that work with a USB interface?

Why? Are you having difficulty getting it to work? If so, please give a detailed description of your set-up, including model/version numbers and your settings.
