EXPANDER PARMS
ON
The Expander can be used to “
Expand
” the dynamic range of the audio signal. The Expander will be
used to make the quiet sounds even quieter by reducing the level of the signal that falls below what
the threshold is set at which will essentially reducing the noise floor. This is basically the opposite of
what the compressor does. Like the compressor the expander has an adjustable threshold and ratio.
The compressor only takes effect when the signal goes below the threshold.
