You will learn the theory of dynamics, and ways to use noise gates, expanders, transient designers and compressors in dance music.
With various practical examples, you’ll learn how to listen for dynamics, the effects they have and how to use dynamic processors for great results.
No prior experience is necessary to take part in this course, although you should have access to a noise gate, expander, designer and compressor.
For Advanced Dynamics we walk through all of the available dynamic processors, consisting of noise gates, compressors, expanders, limiters, transient designers and de-essers.
You will learn how to use each of these processors, both creatively and to repair problems, and you will also learn the differences between upward and downward compression, feed-forward and feed-back designs, and upward and downard expansion.
Alongside an in-depth walkthrough of the parameters of each dynamic processor, you will learn how to listen for dynamic manipulation, and how to identify what its doing to your sound.
