I decided to again test "Current AGC" since its 'new' again.
What i see so far it's still a mess. Dont even know where to start but here is 3 things.
- Wide band agc (green) is wrong reading, atleas acording to display. So if it's used it will wrongly drive AGC.
- Window is a must in this agc, so, since there is finaly window speed settings, i tried to put very slow release , and very fast attack speeds inside window. However attack still has hold like' effect with loud burst. So it completely ignores my VERY fast window attack speed, very bad. It seems same happens in release, but it less hurts.. still bad.
- Back to 1. I must use wideband settings, since there is no classic limit between bands. B1 - don't go below B2 by X dB, or B2 don't go below B1 by Z dB. So i MUST use wideband settings to make not-big-diff between bands, wich is ridiculous. Then when you play tracks with mostly bass, it will NOT rise non-bass-bands by zilion dB, but i have wrong WB readings so everything i driven wrong anyways.
What even mean "Limit attack speed", It should be just "Attack Speed" and to mean and work just that, and same for release.
Wth is with gate freeze. It stops and still doing release for some time. Freeze need to be just that, Instant freeze. Also why not possible to turn off "gate slowdown"..

The AGC metering has been broken in the last few builds. So, you can't really use that, it might be better to wait until that's fixed. This can also make it hard to figure out what the wideband sidechain is doing.
"Limit attack speed" is a different type of attack, with a constant (not dependent on how loud the sound is) maximum speed.
Make sure that you set the RMS size > 0, for example at 10 or 20 ms. That enables "Auto gate speed", which removes "Gate speed" and makes the gates act instantaneously. It also fixes the "hold like" effect on attack that you described. I guess the default is still 0, that's bad, I need to change that.
I'm not really sure about the wideband behavior, in some ways it seems to make more sense than having band coupling, but I'm not fully sure that it's indeed always a good idea. In most cases it should behave the same as band linking, because the loudest band and the wideband behavior should (and do) follow each other pretty closely, except when the bass band is the loudest and you're using a sidechain.
