Title: Adobe Audition To Audacity 2.1.2 Hard Limiting/Normalizing Settings Conversion?
Post by: rockphantom on March 04, 2016, 06:59:34 PM
Howdy,

A friend of mine edited a 16 bit version of one of my 24/96 masters using an ancient version of Adobe Audition (1997 version), he swears by it.
He doesn't have the capability to edit 24/96 audio. However, he gave me details of the settings he used to edit the 16/44 version.

Would anyone be able to translate the following Adobe Audition settings into an Audacity equivalent?
I'd attempted to use these settings with Audacity, and was informed that the hard limiting eliminated many vital frequencies.
Audacity 2.x.x will not allow me to use negative ranges when hard limiting.
I'd like to produce a 24/96 edit that sounds like a hi-rez version of the 16/44 release that my friend mastered.

1. hard limiting right channel -1.0db;
2. hard limiting left channel -1.5db;
3. normalizing -0.05db.
4. Then: hard limiting @47:53:05 - end -1.75db; normalizing that part -0.05db.
5. Normalizing show @1:29:13:15-1:49:17:17 -0.05db

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank You!!
