The important thing with vactrols or indeed any 
LDR is that they respond much faster to an increase 
in light than to a decrease. Miraculously, this is
just what you want in a compresser for mormal music.
But, this is going to make any kind of circuit analysis
pretty difficult.

But, might be just what we want.. sometimes.
