Hi there. I have a 65-minute recording of a live musical performance recorded off the radio in 1975. I've transferred it from reel to reel to .wav. On the original master recording, a limiter was used aggressively and crudely resulting in hundreds of small gain changes that move up and down a few db at a time, i.e. the recording is at, say -6 db for 30 seconds, then drops to -8db for the next 30 seconds, then back up.
While it plays through OK even with these bumps, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a software solution that could correct for these changes and give the recording a consistent playback level. It could be done by hand but it would be painstaking that way.
Thanks for any suggestions.
BK
