What this does

Praat script.

Process Description: This script is a fundamental Dynamic Control Tool that applies a two-stage process to a sound object: first, a global reduction in amplitude (Attenuation), and second, a smooth, Linear Fade-In from the start of the sound's duration. This is often used to tame overly loud source material and ensure a clean, click-free entry into a mix

In Praat, select a Sound object.
Run script… → Linear Fade-In.praat.
Set parameters and click OK.
