Re: Issue with Chris's compressor

The built-in compressor in Audacity is completely useless to me, since my screen reading software has trouble reading the graph. All it tells me is that there are a bunch of sliders, but it doesn't tell me what any of them are for. The graph is not particularly useful, and certainly not essential f...
