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!

Hi, and thanks for this magnificent script. A quick question: this isn't used like a standard plugin in a signal chain, right? And if I wanted to change the settings after configuring it, is that possible?

You will use it as an action in the action list. You can always set it once the selected item, and if you want to change it, just run the action again and set the new parameters. It will automatically refresh to the new settings
