- ; COMPRESS-MAP -- constructs a map for the compress function
- ;
- ; The map consists of two parts: a compression part and an expansion part.
- ; The intended use is to compress everything above compress-threshold by
- ; compress-ratio, and to downward expand everything below expand-ratio
- ; by expand-ratio. Thresholds are in dB and ratios are dB-per-dB.
- ; 0dB corresponds to an amplitude of 1.0
- ; If the input goes above 0dB, the output can optionally be limited
- ; by seting limit-flag to T. This effectively changes the compression
- ; ratio to infinity at 0dB. If limit-flag is NIL, then the compression-ratio
- ; continues to apply above 0dB.
- ; It is assumed that expand-threshold <= compress-threshold <= 0
- ; The gain is unity at 0dB so if compression-ratio > 1, then gain
- ; will be greater than unity below 0dB

- ;; I'm not sure if the rest of this function was lost due to version
- ;; problems, or it never existed. Email to rbd@cs.cmu.edu if you would
- ;; like some help with dynamics compression.
- ;;
- ;; Also, I had a really great 2-stage compressor for speech -- it did
- ;; something like a noise gate with a short time constant, and an automatic
- ;; gain control with a long time constant. Each one varied the gain by
- ;; about 12 dB -- any more would cause really ugly noise pumping, but
- ;; without the combined actions of both, there was not enough control.
- ;; Again, email me if you are interested. Lately, I've been using
- ;; more sophisticated multiple band noise reduction in Cool Edit. They
- ;; obviously put a lot of work into that, and I don't plan to redo the
- ;; work for Nyquist. -RBD
