"Some" settigns to start with. Drive and Thresh should be tuned according to Pre-Amp.

I wouldn't attempt to nail down any release times right now. It's an exercise in futility in the current beta. It would be better to wait, in my opinion.

It will probably take some time until the release of the current version anyway. Maybe it's really better to wait a little while like you wrote here.

See the lengthy description in my post above. It makes attack and release behave symmetrically.

So Hans, I have tested and watched this new symmetrical mode intensively with the multiband compressors for the last days. It is really interesting to follow the graphical representation, because it shows exactly what you have already described. The compressor floats on the amplitude. In the case of highly compressed signals, hardly any new compression occurs, and with a lot of dynamics, the system optimizes itself almost automatically. This is incredibly impressive. The compressor reacts intelligently to incoming signals. This also works in extreme cases, for example when I work with beep tones. Such a fast reaction time and one hardly notices the compression, which speaks for a very good compression. Especially with classical music, the new compressor is particularly impressive. Have you ever thought about publishing this multiband compressor as a separate product? I think that many people who have been waiting for such a product in the field of music production. Unfortunately, I find out more and more that the music industry uses some very old compressors, and that the final product usually sounds anything but good. All that matters now is the volume, and there's nothing wrong with any means. It's a pity that this opinion prevails. And here, the compressor of yours provides a certain remedy, because it does not compress everything dead, but works very well.

It sounds simple, but making a compressor only work when there's something to actually do is a lot harder than it looks.
