by "harmonic peaks" do you mean upper-freq harmonics of a given signal? or just you want the plugin/box/whatever to respond to peak information rather than rms?


if you are talking about upper harmonics, you want, as those harmonics rise above a threshold, that to trigger compression on another channel?

if you just mean peak detection rather than rms, i would think you just want a fast compressor. plugins should be capable of this (think the digital limiter-type, with lookahead). that would be easy enough to just send off the detection chan to a buss that is assigned to the sidechain input of the compressor on the chan you want to compress.

what am i overlooking?
