In order to come up with THE name for your new plugin, I feel it might be good to gain a better understanding of what your plugin does. So, if you don’t mind, I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions about Clippy? (Probably stupid ones at that.)
Your description states:
“Clippy Wippy is sort of a hybrid clipper/limiter. It lets you dial in the clipping and limiting flavors in just the right way to match your content.”
First off - cool idea! Now to the questions…
Is Push the limiter/compressor and Pull the clipper?
The Attack slider under “Push”? Is this the attack speed for the limiter part of the plugin? Does it affect the “Push” immediately above it?
The Shape slider? Is this for Hard vs Soft clipping? And does this affect the “Pull” immediately above it?
What does the “Bias” slider do?
Where is the “Blend Control”? I’m guessing blending is the combination of the Push/Pull but I just want to clarify this. (I can’t help but wonder if you’re using your mysterious “Loud Relief” algorithm on the limiter/compressor section of this plugin. )
Gorgeous and clean interface - love it! (Not a question.)
I meant to put together a video showing it in action, but I just moved into my house this week, so it didn’t happen.
It’s actually “input gain” and “ceiling.” Push and Pull just fit better because they were both 4 letters.
Those sliders will actually all be changing. I made some changes since I did the last graphics render, so the names will be changed, and a few features added. Bias is going away. It never did anything exciting for me. It will be replaced with “attack” and “release” for the limiter’s attack and release settings.
The “attack” slider under the push knob will be changed to “blend” or something along those lines. There will be 4 different blend modes (crossover 1, crossover 2, blend, and series).
Yes, hard/soft clipping. It doesn’t effect the pull knob.
Thanks. experimenting on the graphics is kind of half the fun. I’m starting to get bored with the graphics that look like real hardware, but the 3d stuff is fun, so I’m trying to come up with a half way point
Why is everyone putting up defenses? When I greet new (potential) friends, I do not make them write their name and some random 8 character “catch phrase”. The internet has taken over us socially.
