Patching in a Dynamics Processor

The Digital Recording Console 02R features comprehensive dynamics

processors for all the channel inputs, tape returns, and stereo and bus

outputs. These processors allow you to compress, expand,

compress/expand (compand), gate, or duck the signals passing through

the mixer.

The dynamics processors are generally used to correct or control signal

levels, giving you unparalleled sonic quality and ﬂexibility. You can also

use them creatively to shape the volume envelope of a sound.

Compressor

A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. It attenuates high

levels, thus effectively reducing the dynamic range, making it much easier

to control signals and set appropriate fader levels. Reducing the dynamic

range also means that recording levels can be set higher, therefore

improving the signal-to-noise performance.

Limiting is an extreme form of compression, where the output signal is

sharply attenuated so that it cannot exceed a particular level.

Expander

An expander is another form of automatic level control. By attenuating the

signal below the threshold, the expander reduces low-level noise or

expands the dynamic range of the recorded material.

Compander

A compander is a compressor/expander – a combination of signal

compression and expansion. The compander attenuates the input signal

above the threshold as well as the level below the width. For very dynamic

material, this program allows you to retain the dynamic range without

having to be concerned with excessive output signal levels and clipping.

Gate and Ducking

A gate, or noise gate is an audio switch used to mute signals below a set

threshold level. It can be used to suppress background noise and hiss from

valve (tube) amps, effects pedals, and microphones.

Ducking is used to automatically reduce signal levels when the level of a

source signal exceeds a speciﬁed threshold. It is used for voice-over

applications where, for example, level of background music is

automatically reduced, allowing an announcer to be heard clearly.
