The solo function should be cumulative... or more like a on/off for each channel, cuz I'd want to do combinations, like bass and high, mid and high, etc. And a bypass for each of the channels would be nice.
You're right about the solo function, but the bypass on individual bands is impossible to do without using additional DSP resources: When you bypass one compressor, it no longer generates the processing delay that the other bands do = phase errors.
Next, this is somewhat basic... different look ahead for each channel? I didn't think this was too realistic. It's just going to bring in phase cancellation problems. Better unify this number for all 3 channels.
That's actually a "feature": By tweaking the phase relationship between the bands, you can get a "BBE SonicMaximizer-like" effect.
An output level vu for each channel, and one for total out would be nice. Atleast one for total out.
Agreed.
And of course, a limiter or some sort of saturator would be nice. Or a 4 band pre eq perhaps?
The limiter is coming. As for the rest:
Now you almost have a Creamware Optimaster. Would you be prepared to pay the price in DSP and cost ?
Also, the n ratio is letting some raw signal come through, and isn't pressing down on the sound enough. Just like the Pulsar comp.
That's because it's build with the standard Scope compressor, same as the Pulsar one
A version with custom comressor algorithms is in the planning stage, but again, it's gonna cost more in both DSP and currency...
The idea with the Final Liza was to make a low-cost alternative.
And if you could put in insert slots just before the signal hits the comp, I'd put in overdrives to make me an ultimate drum dirtifier.
That's a great idea, I'll look into that one.
Thank you very much for your comments.
Kim.
But a "snap it right into your current project" type of multicomp would be worth the wait. Good luck!
