update: ChunkWare Simple Source - now with limiter 2006-02-13T00:19:34+00:00 i have just uploaded a new version of the Simple series, along with an updated EnvelopeDetector. the new files are now in 1 zip file, which can be downloaded here: DOWNLOAD CHUNKWARE SIMPLE SOURCE Updates: Introducing: SimpleLimit - a simple, look-ahead peak limiter in a prêt à porter C++ class. in answer to the multiple requests for look-ahead limiter code on this forum, i have taken time to thoroughly document the runtime process. please give this a good look first if you have any questions on how this code works. also note that this is just my humble interpretation of how a simple -- yet effective -- look-ahead limiter might operate. there are other equally, if not more, effective methods that some might prefer to this method. i like this code because it is fairly cheap, works on a "per-sample" basis, and doesn't require too much buffering. i have gotten decent results with this code and have even used a variation on it in the Vanilla Compressor's output limiter. PLEASE NOTE: as with any look-ahead device, some buffering is necessary, thereby introducing latency in the output. in the case of SimpleLimit, this latency is equal to the length of the attack time constant. the exact sample value can be obtained by calling getLatency(), which returns an unsigned int. it is recommended that the attack time remain fixed, not user-adjustable, as changing the attack time also changes the latency. there are ways of avoiding this problem by using multiple buffers for both sidechain and output, but i didn't want to complicate things too much. SimpleComp: - minor fixes SimpleGate: - minor fixes EnvelopeDetector: - member variables now have protected access (as opposed to private), so as to facilitate the derived class, FastEnvelope, in SimpleLimit. i normally avoid protected members, in favor of private data and public methods. but in this case, it just seemed like the simplest, most straight-forward option. i didn't have much time to thoroughly test the new class, so i hope there aren't any glaring bugs. i also hope that this is useful to some of you who have been asking about this stuff. sorry about the website and the lack of links/info. i'm working on that ... sort of... ;) enjoy! == chunk citizenchunk https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10869

How do you use the envelope follower SimpleEnvelope?
