    Sometimes there is a orange end on the AGC in BBP. What does it mean? It happens a lot when playing songs like Lil Wayne – Lollipop. Just wonderin.. 🙂

    Those are wideband compressors. They can be used by the preset designer to allow the AGC and/or multiband attack to be slower, but still control sudden loudness bursts with very little to basically inaudible action if they are well tuned.

    Yellow = AGC
    Orange = Wideband 1 (between AGC and multiband)
    Dark Orange = Wideband 2 (can be before or after the multiband, depends on preset)

    With the next Breakaway updates, you’ll get my new "Passive Aggressor" preset which makes the most use of these yet… pushing it to the limit on quite a lot of content. It allows the rest of the processing to be very relaxed.

    What also helped a lot with that preset is the "Inf:1 above threshold" feature (it doesn’t have a proper name yet). This preset makes the most use of the "Inf:1 above" feature than any other preset. The effect on the dynamics from this is similar to Omnia.11’s new Chameleon density-adaptive acceleration feature.

    For certain reasons the "Inf:1 above" thing works best on slower multiband settings, so Chameleon certainly has the 1UP on "Inf:1 above" when it comes to density-adaptive effects as far as attack/sustain. With sustain/release, Breakaway has something similar ("Progressive Release") but works more with peak information than density… and there are times that it can work against the goals of loud yet clear processing. This is mainly true of very fast multiband settings that also make heavy use of this feature. A method to limit the effect of that based on density would be dope. Congrats to CG for being dope. 8)

    p.s. sorry to go off on such a tangent, but it was fun

    Oh man yes, the legendary Passive Aggressor preset.
    It’s working miracles.
    A few weeks ago I was dreaming about beautiful women.
    Now my dreams are full of dirty (or clean ?) Passive Aggressor fantasies.
    I already considering to name my first son Passive Aggressor.
    Passive Aggressor Smith.
    Would be such a cool name !

    It should be "now" and not "no" (I have corrected it).

    My problem:
    After 8 years glorious presidency of George W. Bush I have a subconscious aversion to the letter "w" !

    What Leif’s working on right now is some core methodology to the way he works… more importantly to the way he wants to work, and bringing his code closer to that workflow… so that he can do more with less hassles. Stuff nobody will appreciate or know about directly, as usual for behind the scenes stuff, but none the less a big deal.

    After he gets happy (i hope) with how that turns out, we’ll be looking at some updates after that. So, I guess what I’m saying is that I have no idea when 😛 but what he’s working on now will give Leif more time to code, and hopefully more time to not code. 8) 8) 8)

    I understand.
    No doubt, finally Leif tries to realize my advice to clone himself.
    Hello Dolly !
    Some kind of cheap working sheep.

    It could be perfect:
    While one Leif codes the other Leif can sleep in his (or their) bed.
    Very economic.
    Why should be a bed only used 8 hours a day ?
    A waste of resources !
    The optimum are two cloned Leif plus the original version (24 divided by 8 = 3 !).

    But what happens, if the two clones have the same ideas output for new (independant) additional Breakaway software products and endless (so called) beta releases as the original Leif ?
    This could lead to the problem to create more and more new clones to finish
    the coding daywork for all these additional software products.
    I hope this will not end in a cloning (Leif population) explosion.
    Though this could be a new kind of bundle:
    Buy one Breakaway Broadcast Processor licence and get your 24 hours audio software engineer (one of the thousands Leif clones) for free ! :mrgreen:

    every processor comes with an engineer!

    omg… i need to build some extra bedrooms..

    of to home depot !

    🙂
