Can you explain how to do this?
Everything I try with this new compressor just amplifies the audio in relation to Make-up Gain, except without anti-clipping safeguards. A compressor is supposed to make the waveform mostly uniform with its peaks and amplitude, to reduce the dynamics of audio volume.
Only with some rather extreme settings (threshold -45, gain 30, ratio 100, quick attack) can I get something that kind of simulates what the old effect did. But, it’s sounds like over-amplified, distorted garbage, even if the waveform doesn’t look like it clipped.
I’m glad they listened to their audience and brought back the older plugins. But, they are called “legacy” and that means they’re going to throw it back in the garbage in a later release.
Until they start migrating the features from that plugin to here, and fix it so it actually does what it’s meant to do, I’m going to consider this new compressor to be unfinished and alpha quality.
