Should have mentioned in the install file

Sorry for that. The information about available formats can be found on the download page in section "System requirements": https://pajczur.com/downloads/

But of course I agree it's not enough. I will fix it. Thanks for your suggestion.

Any chance of a vst 2 version ?

Hello, thanks for your suggestion.
I've just implemented PayPal method to pay.
In the past I had problems with PayPal, but hopefully now it will work fine.
Please inform me if any problems occure.

Hi,

one public question before I send you the PM.

You mention negative ratios. When you set negative ratios the device works like an expander, makes the affected parts of the audio stream louder rather than quieter, right? Does pajSoil include some safety measure (a limiter for example or some auto-mute) to avoid loud overshoots?

In a classic 'positive' ratio compressor, the most extreme setting (infinity to 1 - a limiter) will push peaks down to the threshold value. Negative ratios go further and can push peaks below the threshold value - the louder something is, the quieter it comes out. At extreme negative ratios, the compressor acts like an inverse gate - everything above the threshold is silenced.

Hello Kazi7,
I am sorry, I missed your reply about " is negative ratio = expander ?".

But I see cron answered. It is exactly as cron said. pajSoil is not expander.

Hello,
after many consultations with all of you, I spent last weeks on improving pajSoil according to your suggestions and my own doubts about some features. I would like to thank you for all help and introduce new pajSoil v2"

Or just tell me if it's OK if I quote some of your comments from here?

Just bought it and look forward to experimenting with it. This is the sort of plugin I like, there to get creative and experiment with . Getting the mix that you want of the wet and dry signal can be difficult (sometimes impossible) to obtain with the Output control affecting both the wet and dry signal. Please could you change, or give the option, for the Output control to only to affect the volume of the wet signal.

The following text is from another forum on a different site but refers to the same problem with a different plugin. I have changed the text where needed. The author explained, far better than I ever could, the problem of having just the one output volume control that affects both the wet and dry signal:-


If the output knob also controls the volume of the dry signal, then it becomes a constant juggling act of TWO knobs to maintain the ratio of the processed vs unprocessed signals. If the output knob only controls the volume of the compressed signal, then you'll always have a clear duty for the dry/wet knob, controlling the ratio of the blend while the output knob is only there to maintain unity level for the distortion.

Where it gets extremely fiddly and nasty to use with your current method is when you do extreme processing and only want to add a tiny bit of the compressed audio with the dry signal and need to control that level very carefully. If dry was NOT controlled by volume knob, then you'd simply set the dry/wet knob to something like 95% dry and 5% wet, then simply turn up or down the volume until you have your desired tiny bit of background compressed audio.
Now it is way more difficult to achieve that. You'll need to extremely carefully tweak the dry/wet knob and IF you get lucky you might end up with a knob position that gives you what you need.. but if you are unlucky the resolution of the knob just doesn't let you set it the way you want and you'll have to start juggling both knobs, the output and the dry/wet knob to get what you desire.

Everytime you make a change to the compressor settings, the two knob juggling starts all over again.

The dry signal is your reference volume. That is unity. Then you simply use the dry/wet knob to BLEND in the RATIO you desire.. and use the output knob to control the level of the compressed audio for either fine tuning or to keep it unity so that the dry/wet ratio is as you desire.

Finally, consider automation. What happens if there is a part in the song that hits the compresser much harder and it becomes much higher in perceived volume? You can't simply automate the output knob as it affects both dry and wet. Now you end up juggling two interactive knobs in automation.. it is a real nightmare.
