Here is the reason why the current bypass implementation is a pain in the ass: in order to bypass a compressor, you have to select the compressor and then bypass it. the bypass status of each compressor is hidden unless you select a given compressor to see its bypass setting. then to do global bypass you have to use a UI element outside of the plugin.

When working with this compressor, I found myself adding compressors as I fine tuned the over-all sound. But I want to be able to compare the audio by turning compressors on and off so I can compare and make tweeks. Same with global.

As it is it doesn't jive with my workflow needs.

It does make what you are looking for possible, but you're talking about a different way of accomplishing that, is it?

I’d say that @plexuss point makes lot of sense.
Having access to others compressor’s bypass knob (without the need to select them)
while tweaking any three compressors would be quite convenient.

It's added to our list to investigate. Possibly could make that happen in future updates. (:

Saw it, quite informative.

I'm not trying to police the internet just looking out for KVR which is a community I have belonged to for over 20 years. In my opinion such drive by reviews disrespect the community.

As I wrote before I never read reviews. I don't care one bit what anyone else thinks about a plugin. I only care about what I think. I have never once purchased or not purchased a plugin based on reviews but some people may and misleading reviews could cause someone to make a wrong purchase.

I'd be happy if the reviews were eliminated altogether if for no other reason than to keep developers from feeling the need to pad them with comments from cronies.

I'm not the one who first brought it up so you'll need to address it with him unless you just want to complain about me personally...which is more likely.

As for whining......
plexuss wrote: Sat Apr 23, 2022 4:46 pmOk well if you wont enhance workflow with something as ubiquitous as bypass, I will, pun intended, have to pass on this.
Anyway I've made my point. Drive by sycophant reviews serve no one except developers who have no faith in their own products. KVR should take steps to prevent such reviews. Whether they do or not is out of my hands. I'm out.......... :arrow:

Well, I really love this compressor.

It's way more flexible than I thought it would be, and so far I've found nothing to complain about. The sound is excellent, there are new toys to play with (stacking compressors is very interesting and the several "flavours" are insanely different)... Purchased !

I might have a look as I quite like compressors. BUT - is it any easier on the eye inside a DAW in real use? The screenshots here - it's almost unreadable to me. Very dark GUI. If it's anywhere near as unreadable in real life then no point in me even bothering to d/l a demo. I/m hoping it's just poor quality screenshots...

Looks ok to me... (screenshot 150% on my mac)

My friends,

Here's a new video we just published about the T-Compressor's unique features: https://techivation.com/new-plugin-t-compressor-video/


More videos are being created, to show how effective this plug-in can be. :wink:

Feel free to ask me any questions.

Cheers!

Interesting. :dog:

I think I found a bug with T-Compressor. Here are the steps to reproduce, if anyone wants to verify:

1. Insert T-Compressor
2. lower the threshold until there is gain reduction (in the VU and red GR meter)
3. Switch attack mode from Slow to Fast
4. Gain reduction will suddenly lower by about 80%
5. Switch attack mode back to slow
6. Gain reduction will completely stop
7. Lower threshold another 10-20dB to get similar GR as before.

It seems like the input levels/threshold gets arbitrarily reset by the attack mode switch.

I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this. Cheers!

With fast attack mode selected, you are more likely to get more gain reduction amount as of course you will have a faster range of attack speed, while besides that it also depends on the compression amount value (the big knob in the center). Cause the ratio changes as you change the compression value, as well as both attack and release speed ranges.

We could not reproduce that issue the way you described it. Could you please be more specific on that?

Thank you!

Amin
