Compressor: shorter attack/release times?

You can try for yourself. I’ve uploaded the new limiter here: Limiter

Limiters are very useful with live recordings, but of limited usefulness (excuse the pun) for processing pre-recorded (commercial) music as this will usually already have been processed with a limiter. For evening out the loudness (reducing the dynamic range) of pre-recorded music (useful when listening in noisy environments) it is generally best to use a lookahead compressor with fairly slow Attack / Release times. Both the built-in Audacity compressor and Chris’s dynamics compressor are good for this.
