Cytomic 'The Glue' Compressor

You compare soothe to the glue?
Soothe is for those who don't know to record properly or how to use an eq,
it's a so called problem solver, avoid problems and you won't need it, whereas the glue could get way more use in a project, so it should be a lot more expensive tgan soothe

I genuinely can't tell if that post is ironic or serious

soothe is a dynamic eq and resonance filter, best one on the market (HYPE)
the closest ive tried is Tbproaudio DSEQ, Soundtheory Gullfos, Ozone 11, Melda MSpectralDynamics, baby audio smooth operator and Refinement by Plugin Alliance.

Glue is a great plugin...but there are so many alternatives.

Ok, whoever needs something like soothe should use it, of course
I know what it is, I demoed it and was surprised about the hype

Say the user name out loud several times. The explanation of all this will eventually rise.

With this long wait i hope you will surprise us with v2 or something else.
Also fine tuning with shift seems to not be working, always snap to even number. I swear it didnt behave like this b4.

It won't be a surprise when I've started work on the v2 update, I'll post all about it as I'm doing it. Right now I'm finishing off the manual for The Scream, which is going well, and adding a few small UI enhancements for the final release.

I'm aware of the lack of shift modifier for fine control on the mouse / mouse wheel. This got broken in the update to the latest version of Juce and is something I'll fix soon.

Hey Andy. First off, I love The Glue. Best bus compressor ever. Thank you for this. Secondly, I'm not sure if this has been requested before but, I really like using TG very mildly. I was wondering if it was possible to include a small GR digital meter to indicate how much exactly is being compressed. Or just like the Threshold and Makeup knob, where when you mouse-over a number is displayed. This is just for my OCD brain. Thank you for considering my request. Have a good day!

Thanks for the suggestion! I added a mouse over label to display the RMS and Peak gain reduction in dB. I've done a beta build for macOS since I'm helping a customer with garbled strings in Cubase on macOS, so if you have a mac you can check it out here:

I'll do a Windows build once the macOS font issue is resolved.

Hey could you remove the need to add the minus when typing the range value?

[andy-cytomic]

Sure. And I need to add back mouse wheel optional fine adjustment as well.

I'm glad you're adding this now. I asked for it a year ago: https://gearspace.com/board/showpost.ph ... count=3007

Thanks, hows V2 tho? did you start working on it, or are you still on The Scream? Hopefully we wont have to wait for another year.

I haven't started on Glue v2, but do have the DIYRE kit, and a STAM Audio DBX202 clone version, and a friend with a 4K desk to test against. The plan is to measure each component in the DIYRE kit before soldering to remove a lot of the guesswork. I'll post progress when it gets going. I'm doing the final bug fixes and videos for The Scream at the moment. The manual is done for The Scream.

Sorry about that, I totally forgot, but if it will help people's workflow then I'll sort it out.

Yes, please. It would help a lot.
