dj mix tools needed

[stinka]

im using serato live and what a tool this is

i need a compressor type app to run my raw mix through after ive recorded it, to take away any peaks

does anyone know of a freeware app ?

also is there a good audio capture/wav type app available on freeware

thanks

You can do simple hard limiting with Audacity (free). Most Wav editors offer this basic effect / function. With Audacity you simply choose the db point you wish to limit to and bobs yer unc.

If you're happy with your final mix, I'd prefer this to a whole mastering suite using realtime compression / normalising maximisers etc. Just top the peaks off, then if you wish you can increase the volume to -0.1db. If you're not too aggressive with the limiting you'll retain virtually all of your dynamics.
