That's ok, but using a limiter, there's the need to listen very well ;), a limiter likely could cause unwanted side effects. I dislike to use a compressor, but much more I dislike to use a limiter. But there's nothing wrong with the assumption that a limiter could be the right tool. What to use, a limiter and/or compressor for the conga track(s), or just a compressor for the stereo sum, depends to the kind of unwanted dynamic range. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
