![]() ![]() ![]() I look at Wikipedia and it talks about editors that have a "soft knee" option to smooth this transition out. The problem is that it doesn't have a "soft knee" option to smooth out the threshold boundary in the wav file, so if I do a fairly heavy compression (say, -12db threshold with a 25% output residue), the file gains distortion because the wav makes a sharp point as the amplitude crosses the thresold and the limiting takes effect. In Audacity's "hard limiter", I can set a threshold, wet level (I always just use 1), and then a "residue" level, where 50% leavs the resulting peak at half the origiunal volume (equivalent to a 2:1 input/output ratio). Well, for simply smushing wav peaks in an already-recorded file, I don't want to use look-aheads and attack/releases (not necessary, and would add unwanted effects by delaying the effect of the limiter) I just want it to hard limit the peaks to a lower amplitude, decreasing the highest peaks without affecting the volume of the rest of the wav. I know that Reaper, etc, all have advanced compressors for live recording, that use thresholds, look-aheads, attack/release, and the like. I'm new to trying out Reaper, and I keep hearing that it does all sorts of great things that make it so that one does not require a separate wav editor, but there's something I've been having difficulty figuring out how to do.
