What is a limiter? A Limiter, as its name suggests, is an audio effect that allows signals below a specified input power or level to pass unaffected while attenuating the peaks of the stronger audio signal that exceed this threshold. Modern versions often offer... Apr 19, 2017 | Dynamic FX, Resources
Field Effect Transistor FET compressors, which stands for field effect transistor, are devices from the family of dynamic audio effects. So how did they come about? As small transistors began to replace large tubes, later compressor devices were based on field... Apr 18, 2017 | Resources, Synthesis
Synthesize Using Samplers Sample-based synthesis is a form of audio synthesis that mainly involves use of samplers, either hardware or software. The main difference between this form of audio synthesis and the others is that it uses sampled sounds or... Apr 12, 2017 | Dynamic FX, Resources
What are VCA compressors? VCA (stands for voltage controlled amplifier) compressors are perhaps compressors with the fastest response of the attack and release parameters. They are usually cheaper than tube or optical compressors. VCA’s also tend to have... Apr 6, 2017 | Dynamic FX, Resources
Understanding Tubes in Audio Gear In the first place, one should understand why tubes exist in audio gear in the first place. On the most basic level, tubes amplify electricity. Before the introduction of transistors into the market in the 50s, vacuum tubes...
