Hello @carlmichael

You can check the mac performances from this benchmark list. On this list; look at the multicore tab for the real performance.

https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

I'm using Mac Mini Server (Late 2012) : Intel Core i7-3615QM @ 2.3 GHz (4 cores) - 8 GB RAM -- it has 10656 benchmark on this list. I've put a SSD to it so it became faster than the untouched version. It works smoothly good on High Sierra.

I can say you can use a mac that has above 11000 benchmarks.

By the way, you can see that 2010 Mac is pretty slow acording to this consideration.

@christoph-hart "1/2.74" or "1 - 1 /2.74" ?

@christoph-hart Hmm, sounds cool. and very very nasty Despite Compressor Ratio can't be under 1.0 value on effect's original gui; a knob can be assigned and can be used under 1.0 value. Very clever.
If I need to expand my signal with "1 : 2.74" expander ratio value; what it would be in compressor under 1.0 value?

Couldn't we add this effect to HISE please, it's just an opposite of a compressor.
I mean volume will not be - dB, it will + dB.

Since we have a nice compressor, it can be modified with that and expander fx can be created.... @Christoph-Hart

We have compressor, limiter and gate effects as dynamics procesing.
Can we add Expander fx too, please? @Christoph-Hart An expander is opposite of the compressor.

@dustbro Nope. I couldn't solve this issue on that system.
But I've sent the plugin to my other Pro Tools beta users. AAX plugin worked many Pro Tools systems without any issues.

I think that issue is particular to HDX systems, or an DSP problem that the computer can't handle it. But I'm not sure. It's really weird...

@christoph-hart So how can we do that image strip animation loop?

Any ideas? @Christoph-Hart @d-healey

Hello
For fx plugins, how can we make an image strip animation loop while the DAW only plays?

@christoph-hart Thank you, great!
