Spectral Compressor : consistency across versions? #146

Open ferropop opened 4 weeks ago

ferropop commented 4 weeks ago

Hi there. Spectral Compressor is one of the most interesting plugins of 2024 imho. I am however hesitant to use it in full-time music production for fear that things will change and/or break over time with new releases... then being in a situation that you are logging which version of the VST3 dll to be running to get specific projects to sound correctly.

I would use this plugin every single session, multiple times, if there was some basic expectation that things will sound the same in future versions of the plugin. It still seems to be in "experimental/discovery" phase (and I say that with excitement), but if there was some effort made to ensure that things will sound consistently throughout upgrades, that would give us confidence to use it in proper sessions.

I just want this to have its moment of many many many people discovering it. It does something I've never heard before, while offering the tools to curb things in very musically meaningful ways, injecting just the perfect amount into the sound.
