[Feature Request] Adjustable Compressor Settings

[splitface2811]

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to adjust the settings of the compressor.

It may not be necessary for everyone, but because I'm an audio engineer, I've noticed it doesn't sound great with some content. When, it sounds good, its a god send, I just wish I was able to use it for my entire library.

Thank you.

yea, the compressor is tricky because browsers do different things with the audio under the hood that is not well documented, even with shared APIs. getting it set to a sensible default was a lot of trial and error 😆

that said there are currently 2 parameters enhanceotron sets for the compressor: "threshold" and "knee". it shouldn't be too hard to make these adjustable. maybe i could expose them to the command line in the dev console for the next release, so if you wanted to change them, you could open dev tools and type something like "enhanceotron.compressor.knee = 10". i'm not sure where i would put it in the UI that wouldnt be too confusing

Ah, makes sense.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, the only parameters you can control are the threshold and the knee? The knee isn't super useful for general audio, its more important on single sources, like a kick drum for example. The threshold is one of the most important parameters of a compressor.

I'm not a programmer or a UI designer, though I may be able to give a few suggestions on that, but if you need a hand with the audio side of it, I'd be happy to help. That's my area of expertise.
