Walker, you might want to look at 'compress2', which John apparently wrote to make the dB values a little more Csound compatible (otherwise the same as 'compress'). There's a misprint in the docs, though: "These are given as positive values, where 0 db corresponds to an amplitude of 0dbfs." That obviously should be *negative values*, as they are in the example CSD. -- Pete -- Csound mailing list Csound@listserv.heanet.ie https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND Send bugs reports to https://github.com/csound/csound/issues Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here
