okay, thanks for the explanation. I guess I'll learn how to
use a compressor one day. :-)
And thanks for guitarix by the way. It's really an amazing
piece of software. Something like 10 years ago or more I
tried some stuff but miserably failed so I kept going with
this digitech RP3 my ex-guitarist gave me. (Un?)fortunately one of the
knobs is getting old so I tried guitarix. And when I kicked the
strings with guitarix running, man! that was a great moment
of my life! Not for my neighbors I guess, but hell, that was
something. There are issues, like jack refusing to work with
buffers of less than 512 frames (I am not with a rt kernel)
but I'll get around that. Did some people already made sorts
of "minijack?" like implementing a minimal jack lib so that
you can use jack programs without jack? Anyway, I'll make a
little stuff and see how it goes. So many projects and so
little time...
Thanks!
About compressor, there is: knee, ratio,
threshold, attack
and release. I understand threshold, attack and release.
What is knee? and ratio?
ratio is the compression rate (level),
knee, when you set knee to zero you get hard compression, as higher
knee, as softer the compression, knee add a convex compression aria
to
threshold. The compression kicks in gradually at threshold-knee and
reaches its full value at threshold.
