Works fine in Reaper on Trixie. What about an expander/gate, too?

Hi,

Another excellent plugin. Well done, and thank you so much!

This is to confirm that it works just fine in Reaper 7.53 on Debian "Trixie".

I'd also take the chance to ask for an expander/gate plugin too, if/when you'd like to do it. :-)

The next one might be a (dynamic) spectrum equalizer, as I remove the Linear Phase from the ZL Equalizer 2 (Zero Phase is similar but different). There might be an expander/gate in the future, but I would also expect a multi-band plugin (saturation/compression) before that.

I just realized it might be possible to integrate all four upward/downward compression/expansion into this plugin. Just need to make sure it still stays efficient :) I will look into it.

I suspected that it could be done with mostly the same code... after all, compression, expansion and limiting are basically the same kind of processing, except for the slope of the transfer functions. That's why I asked. Thank you! :)

@pms967 There is a very early version of it here: https://github.com/ZL-Audio/ZLNightlyRelease/releases/tag/ZLCompressor. I may change some of them before the formal release. Some of parameters of downward compression are not available in other directions:

• Compress: downward compression
• Inflate: upward compression
• Expand: downward expansion
• Shape: upward expansion

If you have any suggestions regarding a certain direction, please let me know.
