Subject: Re: Audible distortion/clipping

Re: Audible distortion/clipping

From the manual:
Auto Volume (Recorder only)
Auto volume is a feature that automaticly lowers the volume on loud parts,
and then slowly restores the volume to the previous level during N seconds.
That N time is configurable here.

This would not help me with overly quiet tracks.
