Thanks!! I will try that. My other question about the singleband and final limiters, is there more limiting being done at lower amplification values or higher? In other words, is it stricter when you move the slider to the left or right from 1.00? I am using AGC right now, I am just not sure how to find appropriate settings for the 3 bands. I have experimented with varying values for each, but it all sounds the same to me. Except when I move the slider for band 3 lower than about 20%...I can notice that
Hm, the idea is that it _should_ sound the same - if the AGC behaves nicely you shouldn't hear it working.
You can look at the displayed bars to see how much reduction of the input signal is done. Lower = more reduction. If they are full, the output is identical to the input.
Basically, if a sudden loud kick comes in you want the volume to be lowered, but not too much (if it's just a single loud kick you don't want everything to be a lot softer afterwards). But it must go down fast enough so you don't get loud spikes. Something similar is the case for up speed: If the sound is soft you want the volume to go up, fast enough to catch up within a decent time and slow enough to be not too noticeable.
In AGC, try setting both up and down speed to very high values, then increase the input level (oh - did you do that? Pre Amp in the main window! Otherwise the whole AGC will probably do nothing at all!). This should make things a lot clearer.
