This is an improvement to the current compressor which I have added to my own Sansa Fuze V2 build. I am submitting here in case others find it interesting. Features added to the existing compressor: Attack, Look-ahead, Sidechain Filtering. Exponential attack and release characteristic response. Benefits from adding missing features: Attack: Preserve perceived "brightness" of tone by letting onset transients come through at a higher level than the rest of the compressed program material. Look-ahead: With Attack comes clipping on the leading several cycles of a transient onset. With look-ahead function, this can be pre-emptively mitigated with a slower gain change (less distortion). Look-ahead limiting is implemented to prevent clipping while keeping gain change ramp to an interval near 3ms instead of instant attack. The existing compressor implementation distorts the leading edge of a transient by causing instant gain change, resulting in log() distortion. This sounds "woofy" to me. Exponential Attack/Release: eMore natural sounding. On attack, this is a true straight line of 10dB per attack interval. Release is a little different, however, sounds natural as an analog compressor. Sidechain Filtering: Mild high-pass filter reduces response to low frequency onsets. For example, a hard kick drum is less likely to make the whole of the program material appear to fade in and out. Combined with a moderate attack time, such a transient will ride through with minimal audible artifact. Overall these changes make dynamic music sound more "open", more natural. The goal of a compressor is to make dyanamic music sound louder without necessarily sounding as though it has been compressed. I believe these changes come closer to this goal. Enjoy. If not, I am enjoying it Change-Id: I664eace546c364b815b4dc9ed4a72849231a0eb2 Reviewed-on: http://gerrit.rockbox.org/626 Tested: Purling Nayuki <cyq.yzfl@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Giacomelli <giac2000@hotmail.com>
