Compression addition

[NeuroNoNeuro]

While using this on EVERY mix I do - CHOWTapeModel is an amazing mastering plugin for providing a tape-sound - I am wondering if there is a way to create within the plugin a 'magnetic compression' sound on the peaks. I am almost willing to bet that this exists already, and I'm just missing it.

I remember (and still experience) recording through various tape-recorders, when a transient it heavy, there's sometimes a degradation in the overall signal for just that specific moment. Often described as a 'squish' or 'glue' sound when using audio compressors, but specific to tape recording, it provides a volume compression, but also a timbral change in sound.

That's definitely a good idea! There is a little bit of overlap between the "tape saturation" sound already present in the "Hysteresis" section of the plugin, I was reading the other day about an interesting algorithm for "ideal tape compression" that I think would be the right thing to add the extra "glue" that you mentioned. I'll do some research, and see if this is something that can be added here!

A tape compression processor has now been added and can be tested in the latest nightly builds

It is EXCELLENT!!! Adds just a little more of that tape-y 'oomph' to the sound. Wonderful :) THANK YOU!!!
