it seems that these are comprised of
1. recifying the ac to dc
2. a voltage divider (for attack and release)
3. and a cap in parallel

are the calcs for the attack and release as simple as RC? 

thanks  just trying to understand my prr, pm670 and ua175


 
> a voltage divider (for attack and release)

No.

One resistor (and diode) for attack, another for decay.

Except they tend to get tangled and interact some.

But for the usual attack/decay spread in "nice" audio limiters, the interaction is small, much less than the artistic leeway needed to pick values to suit the program.
