What's new in Dynamic Compressor 1.2.6

Mar 28, 2017
  • For the plugin:
  • Hide a bunch of advanced options by default and replace them with a single option that should be sufficient for 99% of uses.
  • Clarify documentation a bit.
  • For the standalone:
  • Throw an error when the WAV file isn't in the expected format.
  • Also, try to handle long RIFF subchunks before the data chunk better.

New in Dynamic Compressor 1.2.5 (Mar 30, 2010)

  • 1.2.2 introduced a problem where memory usage was very high, so it probably didn’t work on very long inputs. It didn’t work on mono inputs either.

New in Dynamic Compressor 1.2 (Dec 2, 2008)

  • A completely different compression algorithm is used, based on parabolas instead of lines. It strikes a better balance between fast and slow changes, by varying its rate of change so that the envelope doesn’t leave so much empty space (i.e. low-volume sections) without losing too much transparency. You get a couple more parameters to play with. You can emulate the behavior of the old version by setting the exponent parameters to 1. The audacity version has much better memory usage (and thus, speed) on larger inputs than the previous version
