Ratio
When expansion takes place, the Ratio determines the amount
of expansion to be used. The ratio slider sets the expansion ratio
from 1:1 to 1:123
Range
Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the input signal when
the expander is triggered, variable from 0 dB to –63 dB. This can
be used to prevent excessive expander activity and improve
transparency.
Attack
The Attack time sets the rate at which the expander will
respond to input signals that exceed the threshold level. This
may be set in the range 0.10 ms to 100 ms.
Release
Release time is variable and may be set from 20 ms to 997 ms.
Percussive material with little or no reverb is generally treated
using a faster release setting, whereas material with slow
decays or a significant amount of added reverberation will
usually respond better to a longer release setting.
Mode Button
Switches between Noise Gate and Expander displays.
