Greetings,

My name is Helios Martinez Dominguez. I am an audio engineer and amateur
developer. Just started to learn C basics lately within Havard's CS50x
(Introduction to Computer Science) course. I have worked very hard to
develop a single pass mastering tool for my personal studio (Estudio
Siddhi) and the linux community. It is still a command line tool and I have
had trouble supporting 24 bit data files, yet, it supports 16 bit data WAV
files, even when I have had a hard time managing non-standard WAV headers.
I recognize the whole mastering process is about reducing bandwidth and
dynamic range while preserving wave content characteristics, and as such,
24 bit support is required. Still, I have not been able to provide it. It
is awfully naive, I shall admit, yet it is effective in achieving a
companding curve which enhances harmonic content while compressing peaks
and RMS. This letter is an open invitation to give it a try, and to include
it into Audacity's toolbox if required or wanted. I am new to both C
language and GitHub platform, so please be gentle at judging it:

GitHub - HeliosMD/Master-Compander: Open source audio mastering companding
tool (for Linux systems). <https://github.com/HeliosMD/Master-Compander>

Some music of my authoring produced almost entirely in Open Source Free
Software (mostly Audacity), none of it mastered with Master Compander as it
was not developed yet:
