CamillaDSP not understanding compressor

[audiodsp]

Hi,

I'd like to use single channel instances of the compressor processor, one in each output in the interest of protecting my drivers from errant bits caused by misconfigurations or crashes. It seems that with the included compressor the number of channels has to match the pipeline width which implies it must apply the same parameters to all (or the selected) channels in the pipe. I'd like to experiment with having different attack and thresholds for each type of driver (i.e. hefty subs can tolerate more abuse than delicate tweeters). I can see that putting a 1 to 1 mixer in each channel to narrow the pipe to one channel might do it but is that the only way?

Cheers, Louis

I'd imagine on-one thought separate compression behaviour like that was a sensible idea - it means the tonal balance would fluctuate with the level.

You can add more than one compressor in series, and let each one monitor and process only one or a few channels. The other channels will pass through unchanged.
