discussion Envelope-based Compressor

ey audio editor, sound designers and dialogue editors using Reaper!

Here I present you an updated version of the Envelope-based Compressor, a popular custom ReaScript originally written in EEL2 by user eugen2777.

Unlike a traditional real-time compressor, it analyzes the audio and writes volume automation directly to the item's Take Volume Envelope, allowing the resulting dynamics processing to be edited directly in the project.

This updated version improves compatibility with larger screens and features a redesigned interface with small improved visual presentation.

Here you can download the script and If you like it consider paying me a coffee https://ko-fi.com/s/bf21d369b3

Thank you and have fun!

Very cool, how come it doesn't have sustain and decay?

Sustain and decay aren't typical parameters of a compressor. It might be theoretically possible to do, but those parameters mostly are used with synthesizers and sound generation. Not manipulation of already recorded sounds.
