The Dynamics processors control the perceived loudness of your audio, add focus and
punch to tracks and projects, and optimize the sound for playback in different situations.
The dynamic range of an audio signal is the range between the softest and loudest parts
of the signal—technically, between the lowest and highest amplitudes. Dynamics
processors enable you to adjust the dynamic range of individual audio files, tracks, or an
overall project. This can be to increase the perceived loudness and/or to highlight the
most important sounds, while ensuring that softer sounds are not lost in the mix.
This chapter covers the following:
• Types of Dynamics Processors (p. 67)
• Compressor (p. 69)
• DeEsser (p. 72)
• Ducker (p. 74)
• Enveloper (p. 77)
• Expander (p. 79)
• Limiter (p. 80)
• Noise Gate (p. 81)
• Preset Multipressor (p. 83)
• Silver Compressor (p. 84)
• Silver Gate (p. 85)
Types of Dynamics Processors
There are four types of dynamics processors included in Logic Express. These are each
used for different audio processing tasks.
• Compressors: Logic Express features a number of downward compressors. These behave
like an automatic volume control, lowering the volume whenever it rises above a certain
level, called the threshold. So, why would you want to reduce the dynamic level?
