Hi,
I have just tried the new compressor and I love it.
However, I have a little problem.
There is a glitch noise when I turn the dials whilst the track is playing.
Is this something you are looking into at all?
I am using it in CakeWalk Sonar X1 producer 64 bit. In Windows 7 64 bit with Q6600 quad core and 4 gig memory.
Thanks,
Paul

Hey Paul,
There is no parameter smoothing in the compressor, therefore knobs might glitch. I thought it was not necessary, and it saves CPU. Is there any parameter in particular you find glitchy? Do you think the parameters should be smoothed?

Hi Martijn,
It was mostly the central controls (ratio, threshold, etc) and only when I moved them quite fast.
I just turned the controls more slowly to avoid it.
I would prefer the smoothing with an extra cpu hit. I tend to freeze tracks, so I don't have to worry about the cpu. Maybe there could be an option to switch it on or off.
Cheers,
Paul

Hey Paul,
We will put knob smoothing in on our feature request list. I'm not in favor of having option to switch smoothing on and off though. We just have to find the right way using as little CPU as possible.
Don't you like the noise when moving those knobs by hand, or would you like to be able to automate them?

Hi Martijn,
I am not worried about automation, it is just the sound when turning the dials.
Sometimes I also get another thing, where the audio stutters and grinds for a second or so. (As well as the glitch/pop that is not the audio). It is all quite loud, so very off-putting when you are mixing and trying to get the sound you want.
How high up you priority list would it be? I imagine you must have plenty of coding and testing to keep you busy.
Cheers,
Paul

Since upgrading to a faster up-to-date computer, I have not had the problem, so all cool.

So all good now right?
