hey Vladimir, In your interview with Libre Music Production, you mentioned Linux needed some plugins like Melodyne.
Are you working on plugins like that?
I'm currently working on other plugins. Software like Melodyne currently can not be produced as plugin, only as standalone application, and this requires very good DSP base. I know how to implement it (the basic idea) but it's not the first priority for me because the DSP core of LSP plugins has to grow first and become collection of such instruments as filters, compressors pitch tracking and pitch shifting. Each new release of plugins contains new modules of DSP core that open new possibilities. Each new plugin internally looks out as built from functional blocks rather huge amount of raw code. So my current work allows to extend the DSP core and publish new useful gear. Then, maybe, I'll aim to implement something like Melodyne.

I actually can not say anything about it. Each implementation of compressor is unique. They may simulate analog circuits or do direct 'dry' digital processing. FET means that these compressors probably simulate analog circuits based on FET transistors that also can be implemented in different ways. Most analog-simulated plugins are designed to additionally add some colors to the sound. But the similar effect also may be reached by saturators, distortions and other 'coloring' plugins. So the answer about compressors is the only one: you should know how compressors work and how to properly use them, and then you can decide about does the specific compressor fit your requirements or not.
