I use the Limiter effect a lot. I’ve found when using it that I get the error “Not enough room to paste the selection” when applying Limiter to small regions of a track.
From googling around, it seems I can stop this error by selecting behaviour - “Editing a clip can move other clips”, so I tried this, and the error seems to go away … but;
What’s going on here? I’m trying to Limit a small section, not move anything around, nor change the length of anything.
Why does Audacity think I’m trying to change the length of something?
I don’t know but it might be related to the hold time which can’t be set to zero. And it also has some kind of look-ahead… I rarely use limiting but I’ve done a little experimenting and unlike a regular analog limiter it doesn’t change the wave shape (unless you choose the “clipping” option) and that’s impossible without look-ahead.
