Hi LAUs, I'm pretty new to all this but have been using Audacity with plugins, etc and have recently been experimenting with Ardour and Jamin. What I want to do is EQ the "quiet" parts only of a wav file. The file is a tape recording of some source (probably LP) done on a cheap recorder. There is lots of rumble that is mostly noticeable (of course) in the quieter spots on the track. Playing with Jamin's 30 band EQ shows that filtering out a band or two around 200 Hz helps a LOT but this wrecks the bass in the louder "musical" sections. Is there something like a noise gate that, instead of silencing everything below a certain threshold, would apply a given EQ to it instead? With all the cool Linux Audio tools out there, it seems like there must be some way to do this. (Maybe Jamin can and I just don't see it.) Thanks, Mike Mike Jewell One-Up Audio
