A pro version of ferox? I'm in of course - great idea!

I bought my copy yesterday. :D

I am hoping to see some MIDI learn functionality on the knobs so that we can map these to our MIDI controllers. As I mentioned to Jeroen, this would be particularly useful for the new FSynth coming up! :hyper:
I've got nothing to sell...am I on the right site?

I would love to see pro versions of all the breebaart plugs so that I can "collect the whole set" :party:

Thanks Jeroen :)

BTW I'm getting different xcorr meter values between barricade and auditor
i.e. sleeping (non-triggered):
barricade pro xcorr meter +0.0
auditor pro xcorr meter +0.5

Which is the 'liar'?

What a no-brainer and what a limiter!
Really interested in what you'll come up with next.

i use the limiter for a while now and i like the sound and the options.
what i really miss, is a bypass-option for the different stages of the limiter, to compare easily what they contribute to the sound. any chance to get this in a future update?

Actually none... they are just different.

Barricade employes weighting in the correlation (low frequencies get lower weight in computing the correlation) more in line how we perceive the 'width'.
It's also more in line with the actual signals that are for example stored
on vinyl, that are pre-emphasized using RIAA curves.

Auditor is a true correlation meter without weighting but as a result of this, the correlation is heavily dominated by low frequencies. These are usually 'mono', thus auditor will mostly show a higher correlation value than barricade...

Thanks for Your explanation. I'm ok with the weighting un-weighting concept,
but thought it would affect just the meter's dynamics, not the starting point:
No signal= +0.0
BTW:
+1.0 = minimum stereo (mono)
-1.0 = maximum stereo (separation)
They're the same as for both meters. Aren't they?

Post

Exactly: maximum is always +1 (identical signals, but levels may still be different).

Minimum is always -1 (out-of-phase signals, but levels may be different).

The tricky part is zero input. In that case the correlation
is undefined ( 0 devided by 0 ). Both plugins will regard anything
below about -100 dB full scale as 'zero' (only for correlation measurement;
this is different for noise shaping and dithering for example).
Barricade will then converge to correlation 0, auditor to 0.5 since they handle very, very small sample values slightly different.

Post

Wouldn't it be nice to add an option to enable weighted correlation in Auditor Pro, too? It sounds quite useful as a metering aid. ;)
Peace, my friends. I'm not seeking arguments here. ;)

Post

Hmm might be a good idea.

Anyway, I just updated auditor to handle 'almost' zero input
similarly as barricade (correlation converging to zero)
to make both more in line.

for those who already bought the plugin: you can use the
same link in the email to re-download this (very very minor) update.

Very modest price for the Auditor Pro. Got the download link almost instantly.

btw Barricade Pro has been wonderful. Please do keep up the good work.

Ok it's more clear now (i like better the barricade's weighting 8) )
Oh and may i thank you for the Broadcast, CD, DVD/movie presets too?

About the peak read out (both barricade & auditor):
As for others standard peak readout, it keeps the hig value until a new higer peak comes. But what about the refresh time if no higer peak comes?: Would it be cool clicking somewhere over the meter for a quick refresh? Actually you can get something similar by switching "Slow" on/off (auditor).. but barricade?: I'm afraid that switching buttons while it's processing the signal could generate some clicks(?)

Thanx Jeroen: [Reset peak hold]
