vvvar / peakeater Goto Github PK

Would love for PeakEater to run on MAC OS High Sierra (10.13.6). Is this possible? I'm using Ableton 11.2.7 Suite.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to allow higher level of oversampling at render time than during mixing.

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe plugins, like KClip3, support this. Could be just another knob on the UI.

After testing the plugin yesterday there's some stuff I noticed both good and bad. This is mere feedback on the plugin, nothing code-related. Given that this plugin is very similar to Venn Audio's Free Clip I'm gonna be comparing PeakEater to it.

Pros:

1. Simple GUI.
2. Input/Output Link option.
3. Gain reduction measure (EATEN).
4. No "Post-Oversampling Clip" options that Free Clip has. Those options only made the sound worse and were confusing to use.
5. Internal Bypass button.
6. Less CPU usage than Free Clip with the same settings, almost half of it.
7. It allows to type numeric values on some controls. Free Clip didn't have this option.

Cons:

1. There's no 32x setting for Oversampling. I'm not completely sure about how much difference it would make tbh.
2. It sounds similar to Free Clip: Harsh. I can't find a setting to make the plugin sound pleasent.
3. I like how simple the Algorithm control is, but it's not as flexible as a Knee control would be. Maybe both controls could exist in the plugin?
4. The plugin can't be resized. This is specially annoying when trying to read the numbers (differenciating a 6 from an 8 is difficult on a 1080p monitor).
5. It seems that the plugin isn't reporting latency properly. Accorinding to Reaper 6.23 (x64) on Windows 10, the latency is always 0 no matter which settings are used.
6. The EATEN measure doesn't change very quickly. I think a graphical change inside a meter would be a better idea.

That's it for now. I hope this feedback can help the plugin to improve.

Hello, plugin from Proaudio repo on openSUSE tw, on Ardour 7.2 the bypass button inside the plugin windows does nothing when clicked. It becomes green when I bypass the plugin with the host bypassa button. It should work or it's just an indicator ?

Another small issue is that if a move the mouse cursor over the plugin, it flow faster while the cursor is moving.
Xorg with Amd rx 550. Let me know if you want more info and/or a specific bureport.
Thanks.

Hi, i would like to use your plugin in Win 7. However, it doesn't show up in the VST3 list (Live 11).

Description of the Issue:

When I set the clipping mode to Tangent and the oversampling is set to OFF, the signal still goes above 0dB, Is there a chance you can fix that?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [Windows 10]
• Plugin format [VST3]
• Version [e.g. 2.2]

DAW:

• Name: [Ableton Live]
• Version [11.0]

I don't really like the way the upper frequencies of my master bus begin to sound when using oversampling (muddy and dull). I assume it's the phase, which suffers from nonlinear-phase filters.

The ability to select the type of filters for oversampling (non-linear, linear-phase) would be very helpful.

Describe the bug
The plugin does not remember the changed size of the interface and resets it to default after each new opening.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Insert the plugin
2. Resize to the desired
3. Close the plugin
4. Open it again
5. Size reset to default

Expected behavior
I was expected to keep the size I had chosen. Whether opening one instance, loading a new one, or moving from session to session.

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 8.1
• Plugin format VST3
• Version 0.5.1

DAW:

• Name: Studio One
• Version 6.0.2

Additional context
Perhaps adding a default preset for the user would be helpful. In any case, thank you very much for the awesome freebie! :)

Currently, we're displaying scaling up to 0db. I would like to try out how scaling above that will feel(+3db - +6db)

Hi, light green and light grey are a bit hard to see. Maybe more saturated/darker tones would help. Thanks.

[RnD] How Reaper handles PDC feature.

To check PDC:

1. Open Reaper
2. Add plugin
3. Right click on "I/O Routing" button(usually shows 2 in 2 out)

Goal is to investigate how to integrate the plugin with the Reaper's PDC feature.

Consider MSI packaging

Add non-oversampled clipper with 1-1 setting after oversampled to ensure no peaks left

Save and restore window size when plugin is closed/opened

See #66

Hi,

First of all, I wanted to say thanks for the plugin! It's something I was looking for but could not find in the free/open source world yet.

I was wondering if there should be any difference between linking the input and output levels and using the ceiling level. Maybe you can include a block diagram of the processing chain in the readme file? After a null test I didn't find any differences in sound. However I like to use the ceiling level knob so peaks don't go over the available screen.

[R&D] "Custom" type of algorithm

Goal is to give user ability to adjust curving angle of waveshaper manually by introducing new type of algorithm called "Custom". It should display additional UI element that will give opportunity to change "level of curve" for the function, from "hard" which is 90 degrees angle to reasonable soft clip.

I ran the installer and could not find the vst3 in the designated common files folder, Win10

Found an uninstall instance in 'Apps and Features' but couldn't find the plugin.

Would be great to have an option to show waveform above 0dB up to +3dB or +6dB.

Find a way how to derive only sound that was eaten for the potential "delta" feature.

Describe the bug
The text font changes after resizing the UI and some labels no longer fit the available space.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the plugin window
2. Increase the GUI size from the bottom right corner
3. Reduce the GUI size to the original size
4. Observe the text is not the same as before. "Oversample" text does not fit the availalble space.

Expected behavior
I expect the text to go back to the original state.

With JUCE-6.1.2 when doing Projucer --resave you'll got the:

Error when saving: The plugin manufacturer code must contain exactly four characters.

It could be easy fixed by changing to pluginManufacturerCode="T-AD" for example.

I Can't get the plugin to work in Logic Pro 1.7.4 nor N.I. Maschine.

After installing, REAPER doesn't recognize either clap or vst3 but does show AU, when trying to open it, it just doesn't load.
The plugin did work on earlier versions with the earlier GUI.

Congratulations on the huge visual improvement, the screenshots look fantastic.

I noticed that the plugin is not found when using Windows 7 (Ableton Live 11). I know its probably not a priority issue, but would it be possible to make it Win 7 compatible or does the used framework not allow for it? (I have a lot of recently released plugins that don't officially support Win 7, but work perfectly fine).

Run locally and on CI to test plugin

Add root-level manifest.json file so that following fields could be defined project-wise there centrally:

• version
• name

Add visualisation for currently chosen clipping algorithm.
Draft idea: display waveform in the central panel after algorithm was switched, and fade it away.

Measure and save in this ticket(graph representation, for example) which artefacts hard clip produces in oversampling mode.

Test that MSI installed VST plugin to the correct dir
