Examining the purple shaded area in region 3, this represents the release time of the
expander- that is the time for it to achieve full attenuation by the amount set with the
Ratio control, once the signal has dropped below the threshold. The orange shaded
area in region 1represents the attack time of the expander. This is the time period
for the expander to return to the unattenuated level again, the signal having risen
above the threshold. As with a compressor, the setting of the envelope controls is as
important as choosing the correct threshold.
Expanders are
susceptible to the same
abuse as compressors
as far as adjustment of
the envelope controls is
concerned. If the
attack time is too fast,
there will be an audible
‘click’ as the attenuated
signal rises above the
threshold and normal
(unattenuated) gain is
reapplied.
