Re: Channel Compressor: how much Auto-Gain?

Yes, and it has only two things to derive it from: Ratio and Threshold. Whether the chosen makeup value will "normalize" some particular signal to 0 dB or to any other level is unknown. True, but it does the best it can to achieve the desired level. The one you're talking about maybe does, its best...

AFAIK, autogain isn't a specific amount (like +5dB), it's a normalizing process.
That normalizing process is what compressor does using a fixed compression curve, completely determined by Ratio, Threshold and Makeup Gain, all three fixed.

Re: Channel Compressor: how much Auto-Gain?

It is very tricky. I once tried to measure it, but failed to find any pattern or logic. That compressor can even change the ratio depending on threshold.

Re: My first spectrum analyzer

Yes I´m talking about two curves simultaneously playing and being displayed with colouring for differences between the two like here in Sculpt. Blue stands for negative and brown for positive changes: Where do those two signals come from that they are so similar? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not ...

Re: Why does the same imported mastered track make the Reason master fader clip - but not the Pro tools master fader?

I just checked R12 and the Master Section indeed clips where it did not before if I remember correctly. Can anybody test the attached Thor patch in R10/R11? Just turn Rotary1 all the way up, it should set DC level of 0dBFS on the output. dc-out.zip I get clipping at 127 on the rotary on BOTH meters...

I would be really surprised if the Kilohearts products aren't the most popular REs moving through the RS shop the past 2 days. I mean, we all pretty much know that Kilohearts should be taking up all four spots on this "Popular Now" section, right? "Popular" may not include free ones. And "featured"...

Yes, multiple inputs/thrus with curve differences being shown in two colours for +- differences, like ADPTR Sculpt does. You mean, multiple live spectrum graphs on the same plot?

Re: Dolby Type A sound

Making such a combinator would be a hard task if you're limited to only the stock devices. There is no invertor, no proper basic filters, no latency compensation.

Well, besides 3 or 4 filters, there is also a simple compressor, but that doesn't matter much, I mean, it's a crime to offer that for $60 :D

I can't resist offering you a nice tool for true peak normalization :puf_smile: : Loudness Normalizer.
You can set the target true peak you like. And it does 8x oversampling.

Now I have about the same picture, just more resolution and colors. How come user interfaces are still there, but the name is outdated?

My first spectrum analyzer

It's not a finished work, just a show off of what I've been working on in the last two weeks. It is meant to be a part of a more complex device. The range is 6Hz to 96kHz. I always wanted to see what's beyond the audible range. The resolution is 2x that of Reason's SA. First I tried to make it evenl...

We call it [gu'i:], or even ['gui] in Russian. Yes, it sounds silly and indecent in the latter version (it resembles one obscene word), but you can't help it.

Re: Why does the same imported mastered track make the Reason master fader clip - but not the Pro tools master fader?

Orthodox - interesting point, I hadn't realised that the mastered file is 96/24 - but it doesn't seem to have had any effect on the clipping; I changed session to 96khz (don't think I can change bit rate?) and disabled stretch - actually both left and right are now clipping at around 67 bars mark! ...
