Purr-Fect 1.50
Added 2022-11-04 15:05:08 +0000 UTCVersion 1.50 of Purr-Fect is the first update entirely made on my new computer. Even though I've done some heavy testing to make sure everything works as expected I'm a bit cautious, so, please report any bugs or unexpected behavior as soon as you can. Thanks!
What is Purr-Fect?
Purr-Fect is an advanced plugin that offers fast and accurate gain compensation for third-party plugins. At its fastest setting, Purr-Fect measures and compensate for gain changes within 12ms. Unlike the competitors, it's fast enough for you not to notice that it's even there. It works best with static effects but at a lower speed, it works great with dynamic changes too.
Setting it up can be more complex than its rivals, but the resulting speed makes it worth the effort. To simplify the routing process, consider using the free Element, or the paid Blue Cat Audio's Patch Work, DTMF Metaplugin, or Stagecraft Universal plugin. This will make the process much easier and ensure a smoother experience.
Why should you use Purr-Fect?
I’d say my favorite plugin developer would be Acustica Audio, even so, I rather use Massive from Pulsar Audio instead of Acustica’s Magenta just because Pulsar added gain compensation. Another plugin I never use for the same reason is Black Box from Plugin Alliance. It’s freakin’ impossible to make it behave as I want. With the hardware unit, you can place your right hand on the output gain to immediately compensate for settings made with your left. That’s not practical ITB.
Now there's Purr-Fect, it will fix this.
Changelog 1.31 - 1.50:
- Fixed a bug that potentially could create a DC offset in rare situations
- Fixed panning behavior. The former version compensated for the level difference between the channels making panning impossible.
- Added a LED that indicates when the values are locked
- Added a LED that indicates when the dry signal is used

Hey Burak, I just tried Purr-Fect with Ableton 11. Here's my recommended setup. 1. Create a "Return Track" in Ableton and put Purr-Fect on there. 2. Set the Sidechain to receive audio from the channel you want to gain compensate and set it to "Pre FX". I'm going to call that channel "Audio 1" for the sake of this walkthrough. 3. On "Audio 1", click the "Audio To" meny and select "Sends Only" and set the send to the Return Track with Purr-Fect to max. 4. Start to add your effects to "Audio 1", it will be played back gain compensated through Purr-Fect.

2023-01-30 11:52:23 +0000 UTCIf I find the time I'll install the trial of Ableton 11 next week to see if I can come up with a good way of doing it. You can always use something like Meta-plugin from DDMF or Blue at Audios patchwork. Both of them will make things easier in any DAW.

2023-01-13 16:32:47 +0000 UTCActually I'm not sure my brother maybe ableton 11 but when I route I can't see name SC L/SC Purr-Fect like in your video. I can only do like in ableton 11; create 2 instance, put to first one Purr-Fect and route sidechain to second track on Purr-Fect but in directly from ableton device title bar section.. Playing and controlling from first instance, second one is muted. I think same but in ableton 11 one of the way is like this I think :) for example in your video, your sound coming from second instance but controlling from first instance.. (sorry for my english) much love!
2023-01-13 11:34:01 +0000 UTCI'm glad it wasn't Purr-Fect but sorry that you experience crashes. Do you mean with the latest version of Ableton or the last version of Purr-Fect?
