13 l abc Using the DN500 The natural sounds of life have an extremely wide dynamic range, from the result of a falling leaf to the roar of a jet engine on take off.

14 l abc One of the principal uses of compression is the control of level in vocals. Many singers train for years to achieve the degree of breath control necessary for an even tone and expressive performance. Other vocalists rely on an instinctive voice production technique, which may need help in the studio to maintain a consistent level, and resu ...

l abc 17 Expansion may be used to increase the dynamic range of a signal : of a performance lacking life and vigour , or of a previously over compressed recording.

19 l abc Limiting The Limiter acts as a last check on signal level. If the level goes over the threshold, fast acting, high ratio compression is applied to bring it back within bounds. If absolute control over peak levels is required, a Peak Clipper may be switched in, acting in effect as a compressor with a ratio of infinity:1 and an instantaneous ...

20 l abc Compr ession, Expansion and Limiting The act of compressing a signal inevitably causes an increase in noise level. Compression reduces peak levels; gain make up restores the overall level, and in the process increases the level of any background noise that the signal contains. Almost always, when compression is used, the Expander section o ...

22 l abc Applications: Side chain inputs Each channel of the DN500 Plus has two inputs, one for the Compressor and one for the Expander . In normal use, the amount of compression or expansion is related to the dynamics of the input signal. The Side Chain allows the signal passing through the unit to be controlled by the dynamics of another separate ...

l abc 23 Applications: De-essing De-essing is an important compression technique using the Side Chain. Many singers have high level sibilants 'sss' sounds which detract from their performance. Equalising the signal will reduce the sibilants, but also make the overall vocal sound dull. The sibilants can be selectively removed by compressin ...
