Audio Dynamics

Audio dynamic processors are some of the hardest tools to use and implement correctly.

Audio engineers must know how to control signals and dynamic range through the use of dynamic processing devices. Audio signals can often be affected by a wide range of both internal and external influences. For example, controlling excessive signal level or excessive dynamic range, stopping the bleed-through into mics from adjacent sound sources, and Brick-wall limiting functions are all achieved through the use of dynamic processing. 

Unfortunately, these devices can ruin your sound just as easily as they can fix it! Understanding the operations of these devices, how and where they are connected to other devices, and the proper approach to setting the adjustments to dynamic processing are all topics we will cover in this week's class.
