The peakprocess currently still runs slower than the broadcast-limiter but produces a much superior output sound quality. I will look at the code if I can make it run faster. The (s-exp) function on its own takes as long as the broadcast-limiter, so unless there is a quicker way to calculate the ex...

Stomp the broadcast-limiter to the trash and use peakprocess instead! As a replacement for the broadcast limiter there's probably no need for the expander option? I will look at the code if I can make it run faster. Thanks. I have to type a compression value of approx. -1.000.000 (minus one million...

If it is going to be a long time before Audacity 2.0 I think that we need some way to differentiate between plug-ins that require recent Nyquist features and those that work on any Audacity 1.3.x version. Perhaps there should be "version 4" for plug-ins that use (get-env), back slashes in ...

Audacity 1.3.12 is the recommended version for Vista so forget about using the 1.2.6 version. Go into the Windows Control Panel and check that the microphone is set to record at "44100 Hz CD Quality mono". Then Restart Audacity and in "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices" and "...

The data sheet is not attached, but if the microphone does not work when plugged directly into your sound card then you have probably answered your own question.

Click on the bottom of the track and drag it down to expand the height.

I suppose that when Audacity 2.0 is released all of the 1.3.x versions will be officially obsolete so "version 3" plug-ins can be simply labelled as "Requires Audacity 2.0 or later"?

Edgar's patch for handling slashes and back-slashes correctly in "string widgets" is implemented in 1.3.13, so that's another good reason to make this a plug-in for 1.3.13 and later.
(This means that Windows users can use the standard path separator character).

Obviously care needs to be taken with peak expansion to avoid clipping, but I noticed that excessive expansion can cause infinite or "not a number" (nan) sample values. This is not good. This version prevents infinite and "nan" values. For expansion settings the output level is l...

In that case you'll need to say a lot more about your set-up.
