solarlux Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Gain reduction meter from some compressors on the channel strip, example compressor from pro channel or sonitus compressor. Edited February 14, 2021 by solarlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Do you have that on all compressors you run in Studio One or just the Stock ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoods Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 protools has this and also aax has some kind of ability for third party plugin makers to make use of it too. that and the ability for EQ plugins to alter the channel strip eq representation- eg mcdsp, fabfilter, sonnox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 What happens if you have 2 "stock" compressors in the Pro Channel for a given track/bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show sum of 2 compressors gain reduction. For example 2 compressors and sum together or some menu where can select which compressor GR you want to see Edited February 15, 2021 by solarlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I requested this a while back before I was a staff member... now that I've looked at the code, I realise why we don't do it - VST / DirectX doesn't natively support it. The only way this could be done, would be to allow the binding of a meter to a VST parameter chosen by the user (assuming of course the VST in question actually exposes the meter position as a parameter). This is not a trivial piece of work, and throws up a bunch of issues like how to define/map the meter scale etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it come down to the same coding problem? Edited June 5, 2021 by Will_Kaydo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it come down to the same coding issue? That's an interesting idea - so basically a meter showing the difference between post clip gain & pre-fader. I've no idea how useful this would be in a practical sense though - unless the only thing you have in your fx bin is a compressor. It does raise a thought about maybe being able to patch a reduction meter between any two places in the signal chain. That would mean you could put it "around" a specific compressor plugin, or any group of plugins. It would also have to cope with increases in volume, not just reduction. Still not a trivial piece of work... but worth a discussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bring "clipping" into that equation? let it work as a true gain reduction meter - for that purpose? Don't know. Although my explanation here are moving slightly back to compression. 😅 You get the idea right? As an indication for overall channel gain reduction.
