Hi,
for a DIY compressor project of mine I thought about to mime the legendary ratio curves of the Fairchild 670 compressor and if possible maybe also the attack and release behavior. You can find the ratio curves in the manual and the schematics at: http://audio.kubarth.com/fairchild/index.html -- but use the scanned originals since the redrawn schematic has some mistakes.
The problem is the 670 uses tubes and I don't have any experience with tubes at all, and don't know how to translate the tube circuit into a op amp, or transistor circuit.
Does anybody know how to approach this task as easy as possible?
Happy engineering,
Olli
