the other version of the SSL buss compressor i have is the PA one, bx_townhouse. it behaves similarly to The Glue in the 5:1 and 10:1 settings, but seems to have a smaller offset in the 2:1 setting, as the gain reduction tends to be a little lower at 2:1. i agree that it is a little strange that the...

yes, the knee is softer at lower ratios, and hardens as you increase the ratio. it is possible to set The Glue up such that it is doing more gain reduction at higher ratios, but it is very program and settings dependent. and, the combination of the softer knee plus threshold offset seems to affect t...

Andy, the developer of The Glue compressor, answers your question here, where he says that each ratio has a different threshold offset to make comparing the effect of different settings easier (apparently modeled from the original circuit): https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=235734&s...

Meh, Live switches my buffer randomly :evil: 99.9% of the time it's either 64 (preferred) or 128 (ok, I guess) Live doesn't have internal sample rate settings, it relies on what you set your buffer to. Studio One and Reason (the only other hosts here) are internal. we're talking about the CPU stuff...

i don't think there is a hard and fast rule. i mostly switch between 128 samples and 256 samples on my M1 Pro. it will also depend on your sample rate (i'm sometimes at 44.1kHz, and sometimes at 96kHz). the reason why 128 samples is suggested is to increase CPU use in some cases to prevent the Mac d...

do you get the same behaviour using the built-in audio interface? By built in interface do you mean playing directly through the Mac speakers? I’ve not tried that and can’t get to my computer until tomorrow, but that’s an interesting suggestion so I’ll test it and report back. Thanks for the input ...

do you get the same behaviour using the built-in audio interface?

and is this with an external audio interface, or built-in audio, or both?

you didn't say what kind of Casio keyboard, but presumably it has audio outputs as well as USB? connect those to your audio interface.

is all your software Apple Silicon native, or are you using Rosetta to run some of it?

while we are geeking out, from our sensory faculties upwards we have evolved to notice difference, change, contrast. we tend to habituate (become desensitised) to things that we experience continuously. sharp unexpected discontinuities are especially noticeable to us. in the music production context...
