Free compressor with simple equaliser, called JP22. :-)

Facts:

Made with Synth Edit.
Simple compressor that outputs max 0dB.
Input => Comp => Equaliser
MU-Gain = Make up Gain for the comp.
Dedicated to the 'sound guru' JP22.

How to tweak it, tips.

If the comp sound to much adjust the Threshold.
Adjust the input when the led light (blinking is ok)
When all comp leds light, it probably distorting.
Eq Gain is the master output volume.
Mix, Constant & Algoritm decides comp basic settings
selecting what part of the input that it works with.

Hope you will like it? Or at least give me some feedback.

This is the first plug in a series of plugs that
will be released soon.

Hilarious in concept. Will be a while before I can try it out as my DAW is DOA for now. Long live JP22. Good luck. And thanks.

Hey, I really like it...there's a neat colouring thing going on. Wavelab didn't like it though...

I'm having a problem trying to control dynamics with the EQ.

How do I turn off the compressor on my electric guitar?

Howdy folks

Tip of the day : Adjusting levels.

The Gain on the equaliser is the main level before the limiter. It also affect the leds, that should be average peaking 2 or 5. 7 is okay but only as random peaks.

The MU-GAin is the make up gain from the comp.

The input knob adjusts the input signal. The led should only light sparingly.

The Constant is a part of the comp algoritms. In general it controls peak level outputs from the comp. It is kind of 'limiter/inverse limiter' for audio peaks, depending on the audio and other knob settings in the plug.

The leds shows the peak levels from the comp not the
output level from the plug. The output level from the
plug is always max 0dB.

@fjell_strom : Yeah, JP22 is the sound guru of modern
time.

@bduffy : It should work with Wavelab, a friend of mine has used it for a master session. I dont own
Wavelab myself. What are the symptoms??

Glad you liked the colouring sound of it.

@randygo : You should mainly adjust the Input & MU-Gain controls, so that the leds are peaking 2 or 5. Also adjust the threshold so that the comp is less involved. The equaliser depends on the input from the comp. The comp can boost peaks a lot if not adjusted this way.The peaks lower the headroom for the equaliser and makes it harder to tweak an overall sound. So always start with adjusting the comp before tweaking the equaliser.

In a mastering chain, generally, the equaliser is almost always before the comp. But not on this plug. Which might make it a bit harder tweaking.

@jackson : Sorry there is no way to switch off the comp in this plug. This option is only available on the 'big brother' of this plug (soon to be released). What you can do however is to increase the threshold (turn it right and then lower the volume with the MU-Gain if necessary) so that the comp does not get to much involved in the signal path.

tbh, in my mastering chain I recently switched from EQ->Comp to Comp->EQ, and have been getting generally better results that are more controllable.

I was finding that certain changes in EQ go lost in the compression , or started to interfere with the overall sound (a cut in some areas becoming a relative boost in others, causing the compressor to 'read' a different sound). Compressing first leaves me with a signal that I can then deal with more easily.

My mastering chain now goes ->Multiband->EQ->limit, and I'm far more pleased with my results. Provided the multiband stage isn't overdone the sound remains faithful to the original intentions..

If JP22's theaory is correct, then this plug should be able to return the same sound as the input, since he claims that he can 'restore lost dynamics' with EQ.

I confess to not having tried this plug yet, but I am I looking fwd to it (I'm at work at the mo!)

You're WRONG! You change the dynamics with EQ, not the compressor! EQs change dynamics, not compressors!

hehe.


JP22 rocks my world.

and haha, I don't own a tube amp!

Yeah, this Equaliser works as a 'Make up dynamics' for the whole plug, period.

This plugs comp allows dynamic peaks to pass right through it. Not affecting the overall dynamics. It does however affect the headroom for the equaliser.

@Kingston
with respect, what JP22 actually said was

I could easily give back any minimal dynamics lost compressing with a bit more eq on my mixer

So Bob has given us the plug to be able to do that insitu, which I think is a great thing to do

The leds are actually showing the dynamics of the plug. If I forgott to mention that before.

Event though, the output is limited to max 0dB.

Thanks Bob, I love this!! I'm not going to download it but I do love it. JP22 is a classic

Is that a promise??? Well you can always change your mind.

[BobYordan]

@duncanparsons : Thanx, hope you will like it.
Personally i'm kind of impressed what it can do
to a mix after some tweaking.
