+1!
TDR is priceless! No, really.

Hi Fabien
Congratulations on the plugin, it looks and sounds great and has very clear documentation. I have a question, did you consider auto makeup gain?
With a feedback topology, makeup gain effectively reduces threshold and can make finding the sweetspot easier. It works great in the API2500 with the makeup gain set to auto in feedback mode. The more you try to compress the lower the signal the sidechain sees and the interplay between makeup gain and this can be very interesting.
Would be cool to know your thoughts on that.
Cheers

Oh wait, the FB "loop" happens before any later makeup. So, makeup-gain doesn't affect the threshold (that's what the threshold control does
).
The FB comp is designed in such a way that it offers all advantages of the topology without it's typical drawbacks. That is, it's designed for humans with a clear workload in front of them, not for historically inclined technicians and antiquarians.
@All: Thank you guys!

Been checking it for a while now. On a massive compressor trip. Not as much as bmanic. But then again who has/is?
It's quality, and the few millibits of latency I can deal with.
Soon it will be: Come to him, he is yours, for 20 Euros.
Er, how did I fit that in?
Never mind.
cheers.

Thanks for the clarification. I wondered whether make up happened before or after the detector.FabienTDR wrote:Oh wait, the FB "loop" happens before any later makeup. So, makeup-gain doesn't affect the threshold (that's what the threshold control does).

I never found a use for auto make up gain on any compressor except the API in FB mode. Leave the threshold at "zero", engage auto make up and drive the signal into the compressor and it almost finds the sweetspot for you.
From what you say, it seems like your compressor has plenty of this kind of "adapting to the source" quality going on already though

Version II is a completely different product. Both can perfectly co-exist. However, the new one has a better overall sound and a much more focussed control concept.Evan wrote:Is version 2 a complete replacement for v1 (in terms of sound, features, and CPU efficiency)? Or can both co-exist?

Fabien, is it possible to add some sort of "lock" between release times?
For example if I set one to 100 and other to 500, and press lock and then adjust first to, say, 50, the other would go to 250? Or is it already possible?
