; COMPRESS-MAP -- constructs a map for the compress function
;
; The map consists of two parts: a compression part and an expansion part.
; The intended use is to compress everything above compress-threshold by
; compress-ratio, and to downward expand everything below expand-ratio
; by expand-ratio. Thresholds are in dB and ratios are dB-per-dB.
; 0dB corresponds to an amplitude of 1.0
; If the input goes above 0dB, the output can optionally be limited
; by seting limit-flag to T. This effectively changes the compression
; ratio to infinity at 0dB. If limit-flag is NIL, then the compression-ratio
; continues to apply above 0dB.
; It is assumed that expand-threshold <= compress-threshold <= 0
; The gain is unity at 0dB so if compression-ratio > 1, then gain
; will be greater than unity below 0dB
;(defun compress-map (compress-ratio compress-threshold expand-ratio

;; I'm not sure if the rest of this function was lost due to version
;; problems, or it never existed. Email to rbd@cs.cmu.edu if you would
;; like some help with dynamics compression.
;;
;; Also, I had a really great 2-stage compressor for speech -- it did
;; something like a noise gate with a short time constant, and an automatic
;; gain control with a long time constant. Each one varied the gain by
;; about 12 dB -- any more would cause really ugly noise pumping, but
;; without the combined actions of both, there was not enough control.
;; Again, email me if you are interested. Lately, I've been using
;; more sophisticated multiple band noise reduction in Cool Edit. They
;; obviously put a lot of work into that, and I don't plan to redo the
;; work for Nyquist. -RBD
