I think it would be a great addition. I’ve always been happy with your ZaMaxim but swh lookahead is good as well, I don’t think I’ve directly compared them though. I’ll try to give it a try this weekend and provide some feedback.
There doesn’t seem to be any documentation to explain what the ceiling and threshold levels mean.
I guess the “ceiling” control sets a brickwall limit value (infinite compression), and the “threshold” control sets a lower threshold for a compressor of finite compression ratio. Is that right?
I´m increasing the % of use of all zamaudio plugins on my Ardour templates and I have to say yes, ZaMaxim would be great.
Offtopic: Maybe saturator would be necessary too with kickdrum or bass tracks and dynamics zamgate and zamcomp are the fastest and easiest way to mix bus tracks.
@zamaudio: Did anything ever result from this conversation? Only this morning I was adding to a thread about cross-platform basic plugins and realized there isn’t an “a-limiter” included. Yes, there’s @x42’s free digital peak limiter but it would be nice to have a complete basic set of plugins on first install. Your ZaMaximX2 sounds like a perfect fit (with generic GUI, of course).
