Sorry. Two things at once.
I finished 36Audiobook-Mastering-Macro. Mastering that will work in at least Audacity 3.6.1. I didn’t check in 3.6.0. I should do that.
The limiter oddity was two different ways to set the peak limit in the new software and the Macro had instructions for only one. The limiter tried to adjust the chapter to 0dB (100% Overload) rather than the -3.5dB reduced volume required. I rewrote the code and changed the name. I can’t believe this is me saying those words.
I also fixed an actual error. Loudness Normalization has two ways to set volume. The obvious one is about -20dB RMS for ACX, but there is another one which uses LUFS. In this application, the LUFS volume should be about -16.5, to more or less match ACX, not the -23 it was.
I’m going to lie down for a while.
