What can you use without windows? Windows software == useless on a server.

Windows software == useless on a >server.i'm not familiar with unix audio processing software. the windows stuff costs mucho $$ and is developed by large companies. there are freebie compressors and such but they don't compare with things like Waves, iZotope, TCWorks, etc... TC for example develops multi-thousand $$ dedicated fx boxes, and they also sell software versions that presumably use similar algorithms. you might as well just buy a real outboard compressor. probably even an alesis 3630 (very cheap) would be good enough. -jsd- --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Windows software == useless on a > server.If you have XMMS you can use the "Volume Normalizer plugin for XMMS" at: http://volnorm.sourceforge.net/others.html It works OK. I have had some problems with it when it gets confused and ducks the audio down 20dB for no reason.
