Limiter / Automatic post-gain - confused what it means #267

Closed magicgoose closed 9 months ago

magicgoose commented 9 months ago

First of all, thanks for maintaining this must-have app.

"Automatic post-gain" that's recently added into the limiter, looks pretty unusual (a typical limiter DSP does not have anything with this name), and I can't find any info about it.
Could you please clarify what does it do exactly?

Found https://github.com/Pittvandewitt/Wavelet/blob/master/docs/Features.md

Automatic post-gain calculates the highest gain of all features combined and then substracts this value from the output gain. This makes sure you never boost your volume above the hardware limit, to prevent distortion or clipping from happening.
