DESCRIPTION

This is a gentle and flattering compressor, inspired by a specific hardware unit I use a lot. It features a very soft and gradual knee, with no ratio control: drive the compressor harder to reach the higher ratios, which still sound surprisingly transparent thanks to the soft knee and the program dependant behaviour.

Also features a choice of RMS or peak detection methods, switchable high-pass filters for the sidechain, external sidechain inputs, and optional soft clipping for the output.

This Reaktor version provides a couple of extra options not found in the vst plugin. Specifically: stereo linking can be turned off for dual mono compression, and 4x oversampling can be switched in for just the saturation stage. Both these features are accessed via the "back panel": click the FL4TT3RY2 logo to switch.

Why would I convert back? Are you thinking of an amplitude to dB conversion perhaps..? The detector uses an RMS window, the size of which depends on the attack time. I then derive a gain modulation signal from that. I don't convert to a dB scale, so I don't need to convert back. So yes, its correct. Does it sound correct to you...? ;-)

I think there is something missing, the signal is calculated to RMS in the detector, but not calculated back in the amplifier stage. is this correct?

This is amazing FX compressor. You have three compressors under your username and all three could easily be best three compressors for Reaktor i ever heard. You clearly know your stuff. Thanks
