Greetings all,
I'm struggling a bit with a simple VCA based compressor I'm trying to whip up. I figured it would be relatively straightforward, but whenever I figure that, I'm wrong.
I just can't seem to get a variable attack and release without affecting the voltage divider caused by the configuration. Some values help, but I'm quite certain I'm going to need to go a different route entirely, where the charge and discharge circuit paths have no interaction at all; only, nothing's really coming to me on how I can accomplish that without making yet another interactive voltage divider situation.
Any thoughts? You can treat Input and Input2 as connected. I had them independent in the sim to calculate my attack and release times. It's a full wave rectifier and simple RC time constant to a 2180.
(Schematic attached)
