Presswerk 1.1 - new views + video

[Beamboom]

Thanks for including Linux in the builds!

What would have been fantastic for me is if the presets could be tied to the specific UI views....that is, when I choose a UI view it looks at the folder say called Vocal Compressor and allows me automatically to select presets from that folder only, as opposed to now where I have to browse the presets to the View Menu items or whatever it is called, then subfolders in there, hit a preset and it changes the UI or the UI changes from the INIT view directly without the presets automatically there.

even if I dont' use factory presets for compressors, I do always make my own presets.
thanks, just a suggestion.

If you like the presentations of Dan Worrall, we bring you his cousin, Ran..... I kid I kid.
nice video.
thanks

That's really impressive. I've seen CLA really abuse guitars and vocals in his WAVES videos (20dB gain reduction? No problem!), yet anytime I try that, it sounds really bad.

Haven't recorded vocals for a while, but if I can use Presswerk as demonstrated here, I can finally stop looking for THE vocal compressor.

Nice video but I gotta say it's hard to catch everything -- that guy talks really fast.

Agree, way too fast.

Nice informative video! I was contemplating lobbying for a video just a few days ago.

So the new midi mapping and settings pages are comming to the rest of u-he plug ins?

[Gonga]

Wow, thanks for the very informative tutorial!

Yes, and they'll get more options over time. We can finally work on some feature requests from way back...

Just wondering if you guys have any plans on offering even more flexibility by:

1) making the soft clip margin moveable, so that signals lower than 0dbfs could be shaved off

2) adding more colours to the saturator

1) making the soft clip margin moveable, so that signals lower than 0dbfs could be shaved off

Not necessary - that would be the same as increasing the signal level (unless I need more coffee this morning!)

[sascha]

I personally like fool-proof designs, products that still behave nice and predictable even when you twist parameters to extremes. The saturation stages are an integral part of this philosophy. So each one has a certain pre-selected behaviour.

The output soft clip ensures the signal does not exceed 0dBFS, thus its limiting value must stay the same (convergence towards -1.0 and 1.0 float).
The curve roundness is pretermined (similar to a tanh), hence limiting occurs way below 0dBFS. Making this selectable means having arbitrary curve shapes, which is more complex - read: needs more CPU. It's also not been in the design focus, since the pre- and post-compression stage of the plugin can do quite a lot already. This stage also has a fixed curve shape, which is mainly because we think it's got the right sweet spot between perceptible volume, crunch and tonal roundness.
