英文简介：
The CCMkI is a vst3/au compressor inspired in a classic compressor 1176.
This plugin was build with objetive of create a good sounding limiter/compressor with an intuitive interface with the ability to saturate the input signal. The main algorithm is based in Erick Tarr's basic compressor with a biquad filter and exponential saturation while the GUI kept a minimalistic style with six basic compressor's parameters (input, ratio, threshold, attack, release and output), additionally the main interface draw the output signal in real-time and allow visualise it in RMS bar meters. The project was presented as final project for the course Developing Plugins by Ear Candy Technologies 2024.
Features
Real-Time compression.
Input, threshold, attack, release, output configuration.
Four prestablish presets.
Intuitive interface.
Parameters
Input: This knob adjusts the level of the signal before any processing happens. Increasing the input level will also add distortion to the signal.
Ratio: This buttons controls how much the signal will be attenuated above the chosen threshold. A ratio of 2:1 implies that the input level will be attenuated by half overt the threshold. If any button is active input saturation will be applied.
Threshold: This knob adjusts the level above which the compressor starts attenuating the input signal. A threshold setted up to 0 dB will no attenuate the input signal although input saturation will be applied.
Attack: This knob sets how fast compression will be applied once the signal exceeds the threshold. The attack time is adjustable from 20 microseconds (labelled as "Fast") to 800 microseconds (labelled as "Slow") (both extremely fast).
Release: This knob sets how fast the compressor will recover from the gain reduction once the signal falls below the threshold. The release time is adjustable from 50 milliseconds (labelled as "Fast") to 1.1 seconds (labelled as "Slow").
Output: This knob adjust the final output level of signal leaving the compressor. This control allow compensate any gain lost due to compression.
Presets
The CCMkI includes 4 mode presets:
Sudaka This mode has hard limiting properties with slow attack ans fast release which allows pass some transients and add extra distortion. Recommended for drums and rooms mics.
Orangine This mode has severe compression mid/fast time attack and release fits great with everything.
Colour This mode saturates the input level and applies light compression to the signal. Useful to add harmonics to any instrument.
Glue This mode has moderate compression, mainly applied to "glue" various instruments in a mix bus.
MultiRatio Buttons
A special characteristics is multiple ratio buttons combinations that creates different ratio compressions. The combinations available are:
Active ratio 2 and 4 unlock ratio of 6.
Active ratio 2 and 16 unlock ratio of 8.
Active ratio 4 and 16 unlock ratio of 20.
Active ratio 2,4 and 16 unlock ratio of 12.
Visualizations and Metering
The VU meter displays the RMS output signal. While the black screen let visualise the output waveform. Under the display there is a slider that change the buffer to visualise small or larger wave portions.
