OMG ! thank you

v6.26rc1 - March 24 2021
+ Glue: actions glue within razor edit areas if they exist

Normally when I undo a Razor Edit it gets redrawn, but noticed when I used Glue items and undo the RE isn't automatically re-drawn.

I realise this is a bit tangential, but while these js compressors are being looked at, any chance of (by default) adding GR meters to all of them? (express bus comp, major/master tom and fairly childish (stereo) are missing them)

[Stroudy]

Razor Edit: remove from razor edit area (a welcome feature)

Though, shouldn't the cursor reflect this with a minus symbol?

Also, the plus symbol on add to razor works over the current razor area, but shouldn't the plus symbol appear on razor edit cursors when actually drawing a razor edit

Two things:

1. Auto Expander is broken! If the knee is set to soft, the JS plugin produces an infinite output to the max bit.
   
   .
   .
2. I agree with JayJSE2. The JS Dynamics should have a gain reduction meter by default. Preferably a gfx meter, because it is easier to read.
   If I'm not mistaken, a simple copy & past from the 1175 should do the trick for most of the JS. Exception: Fairly Childish Stereo Compressor/Limiter which is not compatible with the code below....
   
   

   @init
     gr_meter=1;
     gr_meter_decay = exp(1/(1*srate));
   
   @sample
     grv < gr_meter ? gr_meter=grv : ( gr_meter*=gr_meter_decay; gr_meter>1?gr_meter=1; );
   
   @gfx 0 32
     gr_meter *= exp(1/30); gr_meter>1?gr_meter=1; // decay meter here so if the audio processing stops it doesnt "stick"
     gfx_r=1; gfx_g=gfx_b=0; gfx_a=0.8;
     
     meter_bot=20;
     meter_h=min(gfx_h,32);
     xscale=gfx_w*20/meter_bot;
   
     gfx_y=0;
     gfx_x=gfx_w + log10(gr_meter)*xscale;
     gfx_rectto(gfx_w,meter_h);
   
     gfx_r=gfx_g=gfx_b=1.0; gfx_a=0.6;
   
     s2=sqrt(2)/2;
     g = s2;
     while(
       gfx_x=gfx_w + log10(g)*xscale;
       gfx_x >= 0 ? 
       (
         gfx_y=0;
         gfx_lineto(gfx_x,meter_h,0);
         gfx_y=meter_h-gfx_texth;
         gfx_x+=2;
         gfx_drawnumber(log10(g)*20,0);
         gfx_drawchar($'d');
         gfx_drawchar($'B');
       );
       g*=s2;
       gfx_x >=0;
     );
     gfx_a=1;
   
     gfx_x=0; gfx_y=meter_h/2 - gfx_texth/2;
     gfx_drawnumber(log10(gr_meter)*20,1);
     gfx_drawchar($'d');
     gfx_drawchar($'B');

Auto Expander: Ratio not correct, Soft Knee not correct
Downward Expander: Ratio not correct


Express Bus, Major Tom, Master Tom Compressor: Soft Knee not correct


Only a short test, have not checked all functions.

[drummerboy]

Before this version, I was able to toggle „show overlapping items in lanes“ to check for crossfades (and to find those pesky little item snippets that tend to hide behind bigger ones).
This doesn‘t seem possible anymore - the items stay in one lane.
Do I miss something in order to get this to work again?

[mccrabney]

ok, so it's not just me:



i screenshot this from Edgemeal's gif above. the Razor Edit solid draw-line appears 1 pixel left of where it should. look at the pink solid line -- i'm assuming Edgemeal has it set to snap to grid lines, yet the solid line doesn't draw on the grid line. when the user finalizes the RE, the line becomes ants and moves 1 pixel to the right.

this inaccurate drawing is pretty disconcerting, even when we know that the RE is snapping to the grid line as expected.

That seems to work fine here. Are you sure you are using a 6.26rc build, and that the track is tall enough to display lanes?

[Mercado_Negro]

Sorry for this question here but since you've been working on the VST/VST3 bridges for M1 machines I think I'd ask. Today I found that I can load AU versions of the plugins in the REAPER arm build and they don't seem to use any bridge. Why is this? Does this mean I can safely use the AU versions in the arm build?

Wouldn't it also be beneficial to have a modifier: Add or remove to/from razor area via context?

So if the mouse initiates a down click over an existing razor area it would be in removal mode, but if initiated outside of a razor area it would default to add mode.

Blown capacitor? Lol, nice save.
15 years later & after public embarrassment is better than never, I guess.

While we're considering JS bugs, Event Horizon Clipper is broken:




If we're also considering questionable DSP, this is going to be a long night.

[ErBird]

Thanks. The 2.08... constant is part of EHC, but it doesn't seem to be the source of the inverted knee. I can't imagine the dev intended for the knee to be that shape.

It seems you removed the images you had posted showing the shape of the knee for these plugins. I remember them looking like the plugin below...

That JS Transfer Function Graph plugin looks handy. Where could I find such an animal? I'd like to check the other plugins mentioned above again. I recall them being too wonky for me to use (once I volume matched with the bypassed signal, I found I couldn't get a useful result for my tastes).
