Updated to v1.01, so hopefully that fixes some issues a few people are having

Cheers

Wait, djscorb... you're among the dev team?

Excellent tool, insta-buy.
The speed of the dynamics scan could be a bit higher, preferably a user-setting in the menu.

Bug: Hornet HoRNetTape_x64 and HoRNetMulticompPlusMK2_x64 plugins crash here when oversampling is set to 2x or 4x.

How do I interpret/make sense of the dynamics scan? Guess I'm not as nerdy as I want to be

The ramp scan shows you the level response of a compressor - where the threshold is set and the nature of the gain reduction.

The AR scan shows the response of the attack and release of a compressor/limiter and shows the attack and release envelopes of the processor.

Beyond that would require a explaination on how compressors and limiters work which you can find by googling.

An oldie but a goodie. The SSL Bus Compressor....

Settings are the classic 30ms attack, 0.3s release, 1:2 and theshold set to get the compressor working at around -37.5dB.

I think something went wrong with the measurements.... see Compressor behavior, see THD+N plots (too hot reference level and/or too low threshold)

Also, Acoustica (L-Bus Pre) does an "upward compression" as transfer curve (as in: parallel compression)? Can't believe that. But then again, what do I know...

And which settings did you use?
Threshold -40dB probebly, and which ratio? Between 2 and 6?

Am comparing my compressors as well, the weirdest curve so far is from SKnoteAudio Disto.
I set ratio to 20:1 ( and Gain = 10 ) to show the curve better, even at ratio = 1:1 this curve is what I see.

It can do it, yes
Preamps can do that, it's a consequence of harmonics
I see our aliasing is very vey good eh eh

Nothing is ever wrong with a Sknote plugin. It's a feature. Get with the program already!!

I take it back, I'm not going to get in to this.

Definitely kidding, unless it's Quinto in disguise.

TimP and some others are suggesting there are issues with PluginDoctor that is causing the crazy phase plots using N4. I guess I will contact Christian about it.

I've seen this with not just Nebula plugins, but also others. I'm thinking it has to do with latency. For instance, off the top of my head, DMG Audio's EQuilibrium had some crazy phase plots too in linear phase mode until I increased the impulse length.
