I have just downloaded Audacity.
hard_limiter_1413 and se4_1882 are still on my screen and pending. Before I consent to allowing their installation, I would like to have some idea of what they are. Can someone provide me with a brief, simple explanation of what these items do/are used for?
Brief explanation please (hard_limiter_1413/se4_1882)

Re: Brief explanation please (hard_limiter_1413/se4_1882)
Hard Limiter and SC4 are effects that come with Audacity. They are in the Plug-Ins folder inside your Audacity installation folder. They are not VST effects, but the "Install VST Effects" dialogue sees them as VST's because they have a DLL extension after the file name like VST's do.jmdraft wrote:I have just downloaded Audacity.

Hard Limiter and SC4 will appear in the Effect Menu whether you enable them in the "Install VST Effects" dialogue or not. Sorry this is a bit confusing, but this will be improved for the next release of Audacity.
If you want to read what those two effects do, have a look at the Manual:
