[TenTec] speech processing idea

[Byron J. Watts]

Ok first let me state that I've got a Tentec Omni D, so this is somewhat 
related to this list.  I have a VST host program on this computer that 
allows me to use a "hard" limiter on microphone audio in real time, it's 
a wonderful tool, I can get probably 20db of limiting with no distortion 
due to the look-ahead design.  it doesn't sound pretty, very 
"compressed" as you can imagine, but there's no distortion.  I also have 
a VST for a 5 band limiter for fm broadcast.  with some modifications it 
could be band-limited to 300-3khz and be adjusted for SSB.  have any of 
you ever used the most powerful processor you probably have in your 
shack, the PC, to do your compression/equalization for you and then 
interface the sound output into your rig?

PS: i'm not a fan of highly compressed audio, it ONLY makes sense when 
you can't quite get through.
