Other Dynamic Processors: Limiter, DeEsser, Multiband Compressor And Expander

Question 1

A limiter has a ratio of infinity:1. Once the volume goes above the threshold, it’ll reduce any peaks above the point to the ? ?

Answer 1

Threshold limit.

Question 2

DeEsser reduces the sibilance of a sound by applying ? to certain frequencies.

Answer 2

Compression.

Question 3

A ? ? is a series of compressors that can be set to adjust different frequency bands on the bass, mids and treble.

Answer 3

Multiband compressor.

Question 4

With an ?, once the signal falls below the threshold, it’ll increase the dynamic range of the audio by a set ratio. When it’s 2:1, for every dB going into the expander below the threshold, the volume will be reduced by 2dB. A noise gate is an extreme version of an ?, with a ratio of 1:infinity.

Answer 4

Expander.

Expander.
