Last release on sister site of Sonible smart Comp. I tried it with simple click track and here are the results.
Is kinda of "analog" emulation or imperfection? Look at yelow line how it work over time.

To make sure i understand...

What youre showing us is that the overall output level is going up and down over time on just a click track? That is weird.

 

weird and unwanted results

 

Yes sir. That is weird.

 

That is very interesting lol. Maybe it's trying to simulate gain riding...

 

I don't know if smart, but it sure sounds funny...

 

Maybe it have 2nd release kind of parameter...

 

I found another weird bug.

Longer story shorter: I copied the values from setup A to setup B manually and had to set a different output value to obtain the same peak! And both setups sounded differently (one more open and louder)!

I reloaded the plugin, repeated the same procedure and this time the other setup was louder.

 

You put the "Mad" into Mad Scientist, Kitty Kat! That's some weird findings from your thorough lab experiment. I wonder how that could possibly happen.

 

Questioning the smart compressor eh?

 

It´s 49 us maybe less atm afair on Vstbuzz ..... !

 

let me reconsider a third time..wait

This is kind of annoying. Over at kvr we were discussing some of the bugs with smart comp on like release day. Namely how closing and reopening the UI can reset the plugin to its "Smart" state even if you had changed it. Or something like that. Dev promised a quick update. The update just happened like a week or two back, and now more bugs.

I really like what the spectral section of this comp does sometimes. It's kind of a gamble since you only have so much control over it, but when it works it really works. I like that it lets you change the attack and release curves and has pre attack and pre release hold. I like how it sounds (or rather "doesn't" sound). It's sidechain ducking is spectacular. There would be so much about this plugin to love if they would just.. you know.. fix it.

 

What i discovered was accidental. I have my set of tests for compressors. Wish the devs a lot of luck.

 

I rather wait for a compressor from "soundtheory" anyways.

 

We have "best answer" of the thread hands down.
@noise.maker vote that!!

 

Me too and please take your face off of my tongue.

 

I question almost everything. I think it's the best way to find the truth.
