Plug-in designing

That suite seems to just break black boxes down into slightly smaller black boxes, which doesn't really help much. I don't know how well the average forum dweller understands the basic mechanics of an EQ or a compressor, so that might not help a whole lot...

Yeah, that's a bunch of boxes. Now, for the real question, what exactly does it do and how exactly does it work?

"Ring modulators combine (or heterodyne) two waveforms, and output the sum and difference of the frequencies present in each waveform. This process of ring modulation produces a signal rich in overtones, suitable for producing bell-like or otherwise metallic sounds." - Wikipedia.
Now explain the circuit in YOUR OWN WORDS. Copying and pasting from Wikipedia isn't understanding - if it were, there'd be no end of experts on everything everywhere.
You're just avoiding a very simple question - do you know how shit works? It's not indicating much confidence, and only driving my point further. Anyone can make their own multiband compressor by splitting a track with EQs, compressing the split tracks, and then recombining. Do you know what the fuck heterodyne actually means? Hell, if you could regurgitate basic trigonometry to back yourself up (NOT from Wikipedia!) I'd be damn impressed.
The original poster wanted to learn more about plugin designing, not have one magical black box replaced with a bafgiquintizillion other magical black boxes. That involves more than copying and pasting. It's not hard - hell, some funny-looking eccentric jackass with a little too much time on his hands figured it out, it can't be that hard - but the sooner people give up the mindset of 'well, I understand things better because I have a lot of little things I don't understand instead of a few big ones' the better.

I have designed the working structure and GUI for a three step compressor myself, LOSER coded it (I _am_ a programmer myself too, I would've coded it myself but I don't know jack schitt about C/C++) and asseca used his mGUI to implement my GUI to it. I actually use it quite often for some homebrew-demo-stuff, because it does exactly what I want... Compresses the whole track mildly and tames the spikes and sizzles.
Its a free plugin and you can get it at http://www.asseca.com/wiki/MGUI/LOSER
