Gain reduction

[KimCMN]

Hi! It would be very helpful to implement, if possible, a numerical demonstration of the gain reduction... the graph alone makes it very difficult to visualize conventional gains like -6dB, -4dB, etc...

Could you please try the nightly release at https://github.com/ZL-Audio/ZLNightlyRelease/releases/tag/ZLCompressor and tell me what do you think? Do you think the meter is a good numerical demonstration? Or do you want something like an exact numerical number?

Wow! I just tested it!

That was exactly the kind of visualization I wanted! And I'm already grateful for this implementation!
I believe that if the displayed value didn't remain fixed, and followed the curve, it would be even easier to adjust...
Perhaps put the maximum fixed value below and keep a dynamic one (if possible) above...

I know some people like to have this fixed value available, but the dynamic value is excellent for quick compressor adjustments, correct release time adjustments, etc!

However, the way it is now already greatly improves the use of the compressor, thank you again.

@KimCMN I have added a thin bar which represents the maximum reduction in the past 1 second (approximately). Could you please try the nightly release? What do you think? I will still do some tiny adjustments but it should be almost ready for the next release.

I really liked how it turned out! For me, it's perfect. These meters are a huge help in adjusting the compressor correctly. Great job!!! Thanks!

Great! Thanks for your feedback. In such case, I am going to close this discussion.
