Airwindows Recurve: Mac/Windows/Linux AU/VST

Sometimes the most amazing things are the simplest. Recurve is ONE line of code (per channel) plus a bit of implementation. It's a compressor, and this 'preview' look at it is a lot like when Spiral came out: this is Recurve as a 'black box', set up for maximum explosiveness and impressiveness. (I've got more elegant plugins in the works and this will become a core technique due to its effectiveness and simplicity of coding, so this is the introduction to what the algorithm does) Recurve works on principles similar to Spiral. It's using a very high resolution sine calculation to affect the sound, and scales part of itself relative to the loudness of the sample it's on. It also enjoys similar principles of 'no sharp transitions, ever, for internal calculations'. In a clipper that means the rate of curvature doesn't abruptly change, which is the principle behind Spiral. For Recurve, this is applied to the threshold of a compression and whether gain is being turned up or down. http://www.airwindows.com/recurve/ https://www.patreon.com/airwindows/
