Limiter Compressor
« on: June 22, 2016, 12:27:58 am »
Sorry if I am a bit of a Luddite,

I have been using Media Jukebox/Center for....well sense Media Jukebox was free.....20 years? Anyhow, I basically keep updating and supporting JRiver because I believe in paying for things. I am much more of a mechanic/contractor than a techie. I also go to Burning Man. This year, I plan on setting up a radio station. The plan is to use my laptop and a 10 watt transceiver I have. One of the requests the people coordinating have is that I use a Limiter Compressor, so I don't bleed onto other frequencies, and I don't want the peaks to sound like junk. I know if I keep my laptop volume at about 60, and the station volume at about 60, I am mostly good. I have fears one of my friends will mess with the volume on the laptop. Also, some of the quiet could be a bit louder, seeing as how we will be at a festival with lots of other sounds playing all around.

The Question: Is there a setting, or a set of settings that will limit the highs, and maybe bring up some of the lows? And please, remember I don't really know about this stuff...I had to do a bunch of reading just to know how to ask this....I had to look up DSP, if that tells you anything.

Thanks for the help, we will be on 106.5 in BRC if anyone is going.

If you use internal volume you can set a startup and maximum volume level in the audio options.
In dsp studio, adaptive volume set to the night/small speaker mode will compress the dynamic range.

cool, thank you. I did find those settings, I have not tried that combination. I have been experimenting with it, mostly late at night, so I have to wait till morning to blast stuff to see if it blows out speakers. I will work off that setting as a starting point.

I have also asked the people that are coordinating this, what is permissible, is there someone .2 frequencies over or .5, or more. That way I can test to see if I am both keeping the sound good at the speakers, and also not bleeding on to others bandwith.

Thanks, and I will let you know what I come up with.
