42 Chapter 4 Dynamic
Silver Compressor
The Silver Compressor is a simplified version of the Compressor. It is limited to
Threshold, Attack, Release, and Ratio controls.
Expander
The Expander is similar to the Compressor, with one fundamental difference—it
increases, rather than reduces, the dynamic range above the Threshold.
The Ratio slider features a value range of 1:1 to 0.5:1. This means that the Expander is a
genuine upward expander (as opposed to a downward expander that increases the
dynamic range below the Threshold). You can use this effect to emphasize the
transients of highly compressed signals. This spices up the sonic image, making it
sound livelier and fresher.
Please bear in mind the fact that you will perceive the signal as being softer, even
when the peak level remains the same. In other words, the expander decreases
loudness. If you manipulate the dynamics of a signal fairly radically (depending on the
Threshold and Ratio values), you’ll find that you’ll need to reduce the level via the Gain
slider to avoid distortion. In most cases, Auto Gain will take care of this for you.
Please check the Compressor section for details on the various parameters.
