Very good compressor, one of top sounding ones. I measured signal distortion and this is one of best ones I ever seen including commercial ones in $300 price class.

It has very extensive CPU usage. You need to freeze any track with this plugin otherwise its no fun. If freezing is not a problem for you then get it.

Just wanted to ask something about Olitanh.

It seems like the compressor only works on the distorted signal. Is this how it is supposed to be?

I just think that the plug-in would be way more versatile if you could compress the signal without engaging any drive. The amount of driven signal you need to mix in for the compression to actually be audible is too much to be very useful. Otherwise, this seems like a very nice plug-in! If you could add the option to switch between only compressing the distorted signal and compressing the whole signal, this could probably be one of my favorites of the KVR Developer Challenge -21.

Thanks for asking. Yes, Olitanh is foremost distortion effect, with added benefit of compressor. But there is very little waveshaping if you set Drive to 0db (unless input signal is very hot, above 0dbFS) and with Threshold at -18db the compressor should kick in before any distortion happens.

One more question: do the attack and release values correspond to ms or something else? It would be good to know for fast workflow.

Attack and Release curves are also program dependent, therefore values do not represent absolute time.
