Is It Possible to Create an FX Plugin That Replaces Input Audio Based on Intensity?

[pelle]

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to develop an FX plugin that detects the intensity (volume/dynamics) of an incoming audio signal and, based on that, triggers and replaces it with a predefined audio file.

The idea is that instead of just layering or triggering a sample (like in a drum replacer), the original input audio would be completely swapped out with the triggered file, depending on its intensity.

Thanks in advance,

@pelle I don't see why not.

Sounds like a bit of work but certainly. You'll have to design the algorithm though and do lots of thinking and testing to actually get something like that behaving smoothly. Try to prototype something simple and then extend it.
