You could also try the "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift" effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sl ... shift.html

Should Limiters-cum-WaveShapers have any useful parameters not needed in a "simple" limiter, such as an Exciter, that makes it better to give them their own plug-in? A fairly "full featured" hardware limiter would probably have: Input gain lookahead hold release output gain Thou...

The "0 dB limit" is a bit like "midnight". On of those things that fascinated me as a child was the idea that a clock stopped at midnight will tell exactly the correct time twice a day, but a working clock may never be exactly right. Strictly speaking, positive peaks in 16 bit in...

I don't think there's an easy way rou...

The Envelope tool: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/envelope_tool.html is the official tool for the job. There's a new "Adjustable Fade" plug-in on the way which can fade up as well as down. If you find the Envelope Tool too fiddly please say so and I can send you a link to the pre-rel...
