Currently I am working with multichannel live input. Is there a semi-simple

method/patch/object/vst that does compression, limiting, expansion or other

similar processing for multichannel input?

to my knowledge and experience most compressors and limiters do not take

more than two inputs at the same time. This is because all the channels have

to be considered and modified simultaneously so that the overall

image/balance of the input doesn't change.

bus. Power Summing Buss Linking is great for dynamically processing stereo

and other multi-channel sources where each channel processes using the same

settings. It's enabled by pressing the LINK button which will link together

this channel to one on its immediate left. "

use within max patches:

Look at komp-multichannel.maxpat in the examples folder. This shows an easy way to sum multiple signal inputs and route them to multiple compressors which all share the same settings. The komp abstraction could be replaced by your favorite vst. You might also try different flavors of averaging the input signals rather than summing them.

komp-multichannel patch didn't exist under max 4.6 examples.

I also found an object called "tt.limiter~" that takes an argument for

thanks for the pointer,

I also found an object called "tt.limiter~" that takes an argument for
the number of channels to process.

I would recommend checking out Tap.tools 3:

The tt externals used in Jamoma is just a small subset of Tap.tools.
