Thoughts on CS-Strip87 from eaReckon

[jam92189]

congrats on the review i like the limiter audio demo and he is right whenever i want a limiter or something to tame something to dynamic i always grab your limiter completely replaced all my other limiters very dynamic and clean and smooth i don't do electronic music so pumping is something i try to never have in my music

a parameter that lets you define the reduction applied by the gate. Instead of pushing down the volume to -inf dB, it would reduce it by 'x' dB (from -inf to 0 dB, 0 having absolutly no effect on the sound).

Sorry for not answering earlier.
Exactly that was what I meant.

If you're gating recorded drums, for example, completely gating them out to -inf dB would sound like a kid pusing sample buttons on a toy piano, if you know what I mean.
But gating each recorded drum track and having the gated level above -inf dB keeps the actual sound of the drums alive and going, and only makes the respective drum tracks a little louder when they actually play.
This will sound much more natural, try it.

...I don't know if it's actually more trouble than a simple wet/dry fader, because the result would probably be the same, wouldn't it?

But it's nice to know you're open to suggestions, and I think your new GUIs are a major upgrade. Guess I'll have to give you plugins another spin, and I'm surely gonna check out that Gate.
I wish you all the best with your plugins for the future.

Many thanks chokehold.

I like your suggestion. Some other plugins currently have the focus but the 'Range' option is definitely added to the SD-GATE87 todo list

All the best,

For information, v1.1.3 has been released and a "Range" knob has been added to SD-GATE87
I have created a new thread so we can discuss the whole series at KVR.

Thanks again for this great suggestion!
All the best,
Philippe
