level and cuts it off when it drops below that level. Imagine you play a chord on your guitar, which is connected to a noise gate, which is then connected to your amp. The noise gate 'sees' a decent signal level and lets the sound through. You then damp the chord off with your hand.. The noise gate sees the signal level drop and cuts the sound off. If the gate weren't there, you'd still hear all the low level stuff like hum, the sound of your hand sliding on the strings, the sound of the guitar clanking against your belt buckle. As soon as you play a note, the gate 'opens' and you hear the guitar again. Q2.5 What is (upward) expansion? marcl508@hudson.iii.net (Marc LaFleur) writes: Upward expansion is the inverse of compression. Where compression decreases excessive peaks over a threshold, upward expansion decreases excessive troughs below a threshold. As the signal falls below a preset lower threshold, the gain is scaled "upward" by the set ratio (e.g. an input signal falling below the threshold by 10dB would be boosted to 5dB below the threshold with a ratio of 2:1). Q2.6 What is companding? Adapted from lwillia@ix.netcom.com (Larry Williams): 96 96
Companding is a two-stage process of COMPression and exPANsion which reduces the lowest noise levels on the tape. Companding typically refers to a tape recording process (instead of live sound or effects processing). For example, a signal may be compressed at a 2:1 ratio when recorded, and expanded at a 1:2 ratio when being played back. This is also known as double-ended noise reduction, meaning that one has to have a decoder to listen to the encoded signal, contrasted with single-ended noise reduction where no decoder is required.
