You might want to correct the spelling of “side-chaining” on your compressor page.

I’m not demoing it until Elton buys it.

@all

For the current day

- the price is reduced to 60 USD
- untethered use of mail to receive a demo just go in and get a demo: https://iballroad.audio/trial
- added video examples

We are working on the rest. There will be new updates soon.
If you need a promo code, let us know

@all

For the current day

- added audio examples (will be filled as much as possible)
- added full support Reaper (will be added with the release ver 0.8.1)
- added some explanation of the ADT technology

We are working on the rest. There will be new updates soon.
If you need a promo code, let us know. If you have any comments, we will try to take this into account and implement it as soon as possible.

Isn't a level-dependent ratio the same thing as a soft knee?

Knee. The “knee” refers to how the compressor transitions between the non-compressed and compressed states of an audio signal running through it. Typically, compressors will offer one, or in some instances a switchable choice between both, a "soft knee" and a "hard knee” setting.

We don't use the knee in our algorithm. Although this idea has been thought of for experiments. Its value is actually a constant.

I understand what knee is. The result of a soft knee is that levels slightly over the knee-onset-threshold will experience a lower effective compression ratio than higher-level signal.

Your description of ADT is “calculation of the compression ratio at each point based on the volume of the signal at this point”, which a soft knee would achieve. If ADT is different from soft knee, you have not explained how.

The fact is that the compression ratio is calculated according to a certain patented formula (dynamic ratio + trim + etc.), that's all. It is impossible to achieve such results with the knee. Of course, this is a trade secret.

Thank you for writing to us about this. Could you please clarify your operating system and chrome version? Thanks.

I don't see how something can be patented and a trade secret. Is the secret that you won't identify the patent?

We are already working on a solution to this problem. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for the feedback.

It's all good. Just let me demo it first before buying.
Another problem with startups is longevity. What if it doesn't take off? Me as a customer want the product to be updated to new technologies and get bugs ironed out in the long term, too.
