4.4.4 Pure DExpander II
Pure DExpander is the de-expander section of the Solera. It uses the exclusive the “Angel’s Share” algorithm developed by
FLUX:: Pure DExpander enhances the low levels of the sound. The space information is magnified. Pure DExpander also
makes your sound more compact. The “Angel’s Share” algorithm permits some heavy processing while keeping an organic
character.
The Threshold value is expressed in dB – The plug-in compares it to the RMS (Root Mean Square or effective power) of the
input signal. This value is displayed as a green rectangle on the input level meter.
The level variations below the threshold are affected by the Ratio parameter.
For a 1:1 de-expander ratio, the processed signal isn’t affected by the processing: A 1 dB variation above the threshold at
the input is reflected by a 3 dB variation at the output.
Let’s apply now a 3:1 ratio. If the input signal rises above 1 dB the threshold value, the output signal rises from 3 dB: Here is
the de-expander action. The input signal gain is increased by a 3:1 ratio above the threshold point.
