Compressors are one of the key plugins used in mixing and mastering. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make one from scratch. At the end of this tutorial you’ll have built a working compressor with attack\/release controls and a soft\/hard knee selector.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There are 3 main operations we need for a compressor.
1. Calculate how loud the incoming signal is. 
2. Calculate how much to reduce the gain by. 
3. Smooth the gain transition to avoid artefacts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the Limiter tutorial we used a peak detector to determine when to activate the limiter. This time we’re going to find the RMS\u00a0<\/strong>value of the waveform.\u00a0RMS\u00a0<\/strong>is the continous power of a waveform over time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Users of this compressor will be able to decide the compression<\/a> ratio<\/strong>. This is how much the signal is compressed by once it passes a certain threshold<\/strong>.<\/p>
We convert the\u00a0ratio\u00a0<\/strong>to a slope<\/strong>, which is a decimal value.<\/p>
(Ratio) 1:4 -><\/strong> (Slope) 0.7<\/strong>
(Ratio) 1:2 -><\/strong> (Slope) 0.5<\/strong><\/p>
Next we multiply (threshold – dbRMS)<\/strong> by this slope<\/strong> factor. Then check that it is below 0 to make sure the signal is never boosted if the rms<\/strong> value is above the threshold<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For this plugin we’re going to make a GUI\u00a0using ValueStateTree. <\/strong>As of April 2020 I believe this is the best way to make a pluginGUI in Juce.<\/p>
We’ll create a ValueStateTree<\/strong> in our plugin and let the Editor access and edit the tree. The PluginProcessor will only be able to read values from the tree. Using a ValueStateTree <\/strong>means we can easily save and recall the state of the plugin, as well as add parameter automation in a DAW.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The last thing we’re going to with the gui is add code to save and recall the StateTree we just created.

The compressor we built so far had a hard knee. That means when an RMS is detected above the threshold, the ratio is set instantaneously to the new ratio. By introducing an area where if an RMS is detected inside it the slope is changed along a curve, we can create a soft knee. This is regarded as giving a compressor a more natural sound, it has a subtle effect on the sound.<\/p>
There are many ways to interpolate between two points but we’re going to use lagrange interpolation.<\/p>
First off we’re going to write a function to do this in\u00a0Compressor.cpp.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

float Compressor::interpolatePoints(float* xPoints, float* yPoints, float detectedValue) {
   float result = 0.0f;
   int n = 2;

  \u00a0for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){
      float term = 1.0f;
      for (int j = 0; j < n; j++{
         if (j != i) {
         term *= (detectedValue - xPoints[j]) \/ (xPoints[i] - xPoints[j]);
         }
      }
   result += term * yPoints[i];
   }
return result;

Don’t worry about understanding how this function works too much, all you need to know is that it takes an array of two xpoints, two y points and approximates a value between them.\u00a0<\/p>
This value will replace our slope<\/strong> value.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

if (knee > 0 && dbRMS > (thresh - knee \/ 2.0) && dbRMS < (thresh + knee \/ 2.0)) {
\u00a0 \u00a0float kneeBottom = thresh - knee \/\u00a0 \u00a0 2.0, kneeTop = thresh + knee \/ 2.0;
   float xPoints[2], yPoints[2];
   xPoints[0] = kneeBottom;
   xPoints[1] = kneeTop;
   xPoints[1] = std::fmin(0.0f, kneeTop);
   yPoints[0] = 0.0f;
   yPoints[1] = slope;
   slope = interpolatePoints(&xPoints[0], &yPoints[0], thresh);

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This block of code sets up some variables for the interpolation function we just wrote.<\/p>
First it checks the current\u00a0rms\u00a0<\/strong>value is in the knee zone, between thresh – knee \/ 2.0<\/em> and thresh + knee \/ 2.0.<\/em><\/p>
Then we make two arrays of points,\u00a0
xPoints holds the db values of the bottom and top of the knee region.
yPoints hold the slope values.<\/p>
Once these arrays are set up we interpolate a new slope value and set the threshold of the compressor to the lower knee value.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Rebuild the plugin and you should see\/hear a difference when you change the knee slider. Don’t worry if it doesn’t sound drastically different:)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
