Commit 057d630 switched this repo from GPL-3.0 to Apache-2.0, which the
build contradicts: src/lib.rs calls nih_export_vst3! unconditionally and
nih_plug is taken with default features, so every build links vst3-sys —
GPLv3-or-later by its own authors' choice. deploy.ps1 then installs that
binary. The declared licence and the artifact's actual terms disagreed,
and the original GPL-3.0 was correct.
Given the intent to distribute non-profit and open-source, GPL costs
nothing here, so this restores it rather than dropping VST3 to keep a
permissive licence.
Also adds the ISC notice owed to Robbert van der Helm: the plugin
scaffolding derives from the NIH-plug cookiecutter template and example
plugins, whose one condition is that the copyright and permission notice
travel with all copies. The README credited the template under Reference
Material, which is courtesy, not compliance. ISC is GPL-compatible, so the
notice is retained in NOTICE rather than superseded.
Corrects the README's claim that Steinberg's SDK licence must be accepted
before distributing. No SDK source is vendored or redistributed, so there
is nothing to accept at build time. The binding constraint is vst3-sys's
GPLv3; Steinberg's trademark in "VST" is a separate regime that no source
licence resolves.
Copyright in the Irene <irene@novoyuuparosk.org> commits is held by the
repository owner (an agent identity), so no third-party agreement was
needed for this relicense.

Splits the input into low/mid/high with a Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/oct crossover,
compresses each band, sums them, then runs the sum through a fourth 'All'
compressor. Bypassing the three bands collapses the plugin to a simple full-band
comp driven by 'All' (the crossover sums flat in magnitude).
- src/dsp/biquad.rs: generic RBJ biquad (Transposed Direct Form II), LP/HP/AP
- src/dsp/crossover.rs: 3-band LR4 filterbank; lower band all-pass-compensated at
the higher crossover so the bands sum to flat magnitude (an all-pass, not a
bit-exact null — that only holds for linear-phase FIR). Mirrors nih-plug's
crossover plugin design.
- src/lib.rs: 4 Compressor instances (low/mid/high/all) + Crossover; params
restructured to 4 nested CompressorParams (id_prefix low/mid/high/all) plus
global crossover_low_hz/crossover_high_hz/look_ahead_ms; 4-column lo|mid|hi|all
egui UI; latency = two series stages (bands + all), constant, reported once
- 10 unit tests (adds biquad LP/AP magnitude, crossover flat-magnitude
reconstruction, band-split sanity)
- README: Stage 3 marked done; corrected the 'sum flat' expectation to flat
magnitude (IIR LR sums to an all-pass, not a time-domain null)
