Is there a 24-bit sound editor capable of processing a fade between two arbitrary gain levels?
I have a file that was recorded too hot for about a minute, then the V3 sort of fades between the -5db step gain adjustment. I need to apply a linear fade from -5db to 0db relative to the existing signal so that the part between the flat gain adjustment and the rest of the signal mate correctly.
Any idea how to do this? I think an older 16-bit version of CE would allow a custom gain curve over time. It was like applying an equalization curve but over time rather than frequency. I can't find anything in audacity or wavelab that will let you start and end a fade between two arbitrary gain levels.
Damn post-processing. I might have to revert to cassette masters. Maybe then I'd get to hear some shows I recorded.

Any of the Syntrillium Cool Edit / Adobe Audition products will do this. Dunno about others, but I suspect many do. If you don't have access to CE / AA, I can make the fade if you send me the file and let me know where you want the fade started/ended.

Wavelab has volume envelopes in the montage that will do what you're looking for.

cool! I'll check that out.
Brian, I might take you up on that offer. I'm trying to find the break points. But I need to learn to do this. My V3 step down was 5db and then I used the 722 trim to dial it in. If I can't get it done today, I'll take you up on that.

i have accomplished this quickly in a daw with fader automation. if your software allows it, that's the simplest solution, imo
