Attached is a plug-in that produces the same effect as the old Hard Limiter effect. The controls are a little different (simpler) than the old version.
The “Threshold level (dB)” control sets the level at which clipping is applied.
The “Mix (%)” control sets the “wet/dry” mix percentage. 0% gives the original unprocessed audio. 50% (default) is a 50/50 mix of unprocessed and processed (clipped) audio. 100% is 100% clipped audio.
This is a “Nyquist Plug-in”. Installation instructions are here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/effect_menu.html#nyquist_effects
Note that, like the original “Hard Limiter” effect, this plug-in creates distortion.
