Audio Theory - Expander

🌿 This tutorials go right to the point!, thanks a lot!

Love you for making it easy

the graphics are just completely wrong in this smh my head

this is the best video ever on this subject

THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD!!! THANK YOU

Very good explanation. Thank you!

Wow! So well explained!! Thanks!

quick and helpful!

Great explanation

Thank you for this simple explanation!

Very nice and helpful video. Thanks!

this is a lifesaver. thank you.

That was super helpful, thanks

simple and great. Thanks!

Great Overview. Thank you!

A limiter doesn't do that actually. It compresses the audio above the threshold to that level. None of the signal is removed.

Thank you for the explanation.

Nice

The graphs are backwards... they should be going down, not out to the left.

Straight to the point! YT needs more people like you. Thank you!

So it's a soft version of a gate, like a compressor is a "soft" version of a limiter

perfect. thank you.

The gate and expansion graphs are wrong--they should go more vertical below the threshold, not more horizontal. Check the graphics on your plug-in or digital console dynamics processing.

I'm confused. How does the expander decrease the output if it looks like it increases it under the threshold in that graph...

Fuck me, this was a pretty good explanation!

Muchas gracias. Muy buen video!

Short and to the point.Thank you!

so awesome explanation!!

Wow! Awesome. ThankYou! Am Subscribed now, adding this Vid to my Playlist & Sharing. LOVE Your Motto; TRAINING THE CALLED, EQUIPPING THE TRAINED"...Awesome. GOD Bless & ThankYou! Will Share Your Channel too. Cheers

If my limiter was "cutting the signal above the threshold out completely", I'd be worried. :)

Great video, just a thought though. Limiter is not the same as a gate but reversed. Difference is, gate cuts it out completely. Limiter is actually a compressor where the starting ratio is 10:1. So it does not completely cut it out like a gate but actually compresses it really hard.

Great explanation

So basically an expander compressing frequencies under the threshold peaks granting more dynamic range aka EXPANDING the range between the peaks and the sunds under the threshold?  So its not so much expanding as it is decreasing causing an expansion of range between highs and lows which ultimately comes off as expanding once make-up gain is applied?  Thats what i seem to understand...i always thought it was making the peaks JUMP but in actuality its making the valleys of sound drop...even via compression.  That would have been good to know 3 years ago lol.  Such is the world of music...sad Im just learning this.

Great Videos, in a easy to understand way.
Thanks!
