I say it again,i really love it,but...
i have a bug using Live 7.03
when load it in my more loaded projects,the GUI is not appearing,have to use lives no gui controlers (same with TeslaSE)
in some other projects everything is fine.

any idea Bootsie ?

thx

There is a SM update coming (currently beta) with further fixes concerning hosts an grafics issues. I will compile the upcoming update for TesslaSE with that and we can test and see if things are getting better or not then.


peace,
bootsy

works fine here, on ableton live 7.0.3, windows vista home.

Thanks for this free plug-in. Used it on drums and acoustic guitars so far and sounds great.

[David Else]

thanks for the amazing plugin!

i don't know if i am reading the manual wrong, but i can't seem to discover if it is possible to JUST compress the side channel? it seems like i should be able to, but i can't work it out.

i have a track to master with far too loud backing vocals that are panned hard left and right, if i can compress JUST the side channel i am sorted... is it possible?

if not, any workarounds using vocengo msed or something? I am using cubase studio 4, this is something i have wanted to be able to do for ages, but lacked the plugin for it.... fingers crossed

cheers,

It should be: red dot on top line, right corner. This way you're processing JUST the side channel.

You could think the other way around too: red dot on top line, left corner. this way it's processed only the mid (mono) channel. Then the 'dry : wet' knob does its magic blending the unprocessed (stereo) signal with the mid ch.

Nice work Bootsy!

Just 1 question: why is the meter so 'empty'? I mean there's nothing showing -3db; it shows -6db... then there isn't any indicator up to 0db: end of the meter..I think it could be useful a more detailed meter (a clip indicator too)

All the best

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll put it on the list (no promise here).

tonAP is of course right but you will end up in having *just* the side compressed signal and nothing else - just be aware.

Currently there is no dedicated channel specific control of compression in Density - each channel gets compressed with basicly same parameters except program depend behaviour under the hood (which is channel specific but not controllable by user). For ease of use you just mix all compressed channels at the end.
More channel dependend control is of course possible in principal and just a matter of complexity in the interface and not a technical thing.

The most easiest way for this kind of request would eventually be to implement a switch in the channel mixer where you can switch into a mode so that the mixer controls now the channels compression amount rather then the mix at the end.
What you think?

I don't think that this is the ticket as you will probably end up in having a more 'dense' side signal which features even more room information. I would just try to lower the side signals volume or bring the (compressed) mid information a little up so the overall signal becomes more upfront.
And that could easily be done with Density.

What you think?

What about putting both a channel compression amount AND a channel mixer on the gui? imho the xypad idea is very intuitive so it could be duplicated to maximize flexibility without affecting ease of use... just a thought.

yeah, that would be optimal so you have both, level and compression control per channel at the same time. Could be implemented e.g. as two different colored dots in the mixer.
would that be cool or too complicated (usage wise)?

[Juanjo]

That would be uber-cool Maybe a mini-legend right besides the xypad would help in terms of usability (i.e. red=comp/blue=mix, or whatever).

[bootsie]

bootsy writes down: "must implement new uber-cool feature"

[bmanic]

Yep. That feature is sorely needed. Please add.

Bootsy "Uber-Cool!" Plugin Guru!

Mixed some rough live drums with rescue & density today. DAMN!
Snap, crackle, POP! Just love 'em. Thanks for hi-quality freebies!
