There is a beta of the latest update to Compressive Lite and Pro available here if anybody wants to give it a test

I have made some pretty big changes to the code to reduce CPU usage (especially with the sidechain), which has reduced it by about a third on my system

However, this has obfuscated my code somewhat so I am releasing it as a beta to start with to check it still works okay. Please note that the optimisations introduce a 16 sample delay, which is equal to ~0.3 milliseconds at a samplerate of 44.1 so it shouldn't affect its use in realtime. Plus, the delay is reported to the host.

I have also fixed a potential denormal in the EQ and finally fixed the ratio knob display.

Doesn't work in WL6.1 anymore
It used to work with the 01-2008 update.

In N4 it works , kind of, -> Stereo is broken.
That is, as soon as you dail in the trheshold -> signal is mono

could be human error on my side....but i think there is something funky bout
this 'update'

Hi ST54 - yep there was a bug with stereo/mono. I have just fixed it and updated the link above

What is WL6.1?

Thanks ST54, I bet there is no Wavelab demo available. Let me know if the latest version sorts any of the bugs out.

I tricked myself

The 'lite' version is/was OK with WL5/6.Same behaviour as the previous version.(was a long time I tried that)
Only the pro version doesn't do it in the mastersection of WL.
Possibly something to do with the 'external input/aux' capabilities.
Some error about "not supporting the number of channels".
You can use them both in the WL montage.
Anyway thx for the update ....esp. the ratio knob

Ah it sounds like wavelab can't deal with plugins that have more than one stereo input then. Good to see Steinberg fully supporting the VST spec

@S-N-S - glad to hear it's working

@bduffy - let me know what you think, I'd be interested to hear any feedback you have

Freakin' excellent so far. I don't recall a lot of CPU-use in the previous version, but seems quite low now. The only comment I can think of right now is that the sidechain monitor is loud as hell; when I have a significant boost it nearly blows my head off!

Sounds great, though: I'm getting a really slamming drum bus right now, using the sidechain to compress the kick and snare and leave let the lows and highs through; very nice. Hard to think of any compressor sounding better; this is top-notch stuff, my friend.
