Thanks for that! Would have loved it if you explained how to use the Expander in depth in Logic, but your video inspired me to reuse your words and walk myself through it as I worked on each knob. Thanks! Being a recording artist I hardly ever needed to reduce any noise floor, but now being a success coach there are many videos I'm working on with me talking, and some rooms are less than quiet LOL. I've got this one video where I went into a room at the co-working space, so it would be "quiet"! Omg the irony LOL. What a booming echo throughout the video. Working on that video now. Thanks George!
Great video. I just stumbled over one thing. You said "increased", though it will be attenuated, context: Compressor, the RATIO works as follows (Universal Audio): "Ratio specifies the amount of compression applied to the signal. This setting is expressed in decibels. For example, a ratio of 2:1 indicates that a signal exceeding the threshold by 2 dB will be attenuated down by 1 dB. A signal exceeding the threshold by 8 dB will be attenuated down by 4 dB, etc."
Judging by the video, the logic expander isn’t for downward expansion then, right? That’s good to know. I’ve been using it on vocal tracks with their “high expansion” preset to kind of tame low-level noise (keep in mind I had no idea what I was doing until now) and it’s been working fine. I only use it on softer vocals since soft vocals are usually paired with minimal production so you can hear the noise more. If it were used on belty-er songs, I’m assuming the belt sections would go through the roof with the expansion, so no need there since it’s usually a more dense mix so you can’t really hear the noise. Kinda just rambled there… Great video though!!
At 2:30 you say a compressor increases the output level by 1 db everytime the signal goes 4db above the threshold. That is incorrect. It decreases the signal.
She meant the expander. Expanders add extra dynamics/amplitude while normal compressors reduce them. Expanders are just compressors but work the opposite way.
Yes shaping them prior to hitting your output, you could also put this on the master and shape everything with it in tandem with a limiter to keep your peaks from going above 0db on the master chain

From Colombia and being a teacher: What a good teaching video! thanks!
Thanks. Another plugin I never considered. Appreciate it.
Another great tutorial, thanks and congrats. Keep up the good work :-)

Very clear explanation-thanks!
Interesting, I might use this instead of a gate as Logic's gate is pretty aggressive...
Excellent tutorial.
Nicely explained. Thanks
Thank you
Beautiful 🤩 and awesome 👏 explaining
Beautiful
Awesome
cute tutorial 🥰

I'm in love
thanks
Importante teoria, pero debias mistrar la practica gracias
What's the name of the song that you use in the intro?
It's one of my own songs that I haven't released yet! :)
Can i use expander on midi drums? Or electronic drums?
Yes

It would be better if you gave examples.
Can I take suggestions on Instagram from you,plz
please say in hindi,love from india😉
