The difference between the sound’s loudest and quietest moments in the track is called the dynamic range. Dynamics are a huge part of a sound’s identity, so having the ability to control dynamics is an invaluable tool for producers and mix engineers. Dynamics and dynamic rangeīefore we discuss the dynamics processors themselves, it’s important to understand what we’re actually doing to the sound.Įach of these processors is able to affect the dynamics of a sound, changes in volume over the course of its lifespan. We’ll discuss the mathematical processes behind these tools, how they affect the sound, and the best scenarios in which to use them. We’ll cover the four main types of plug-ins used to control dynamics: limiters, compressors, expanders, and gates. In this article, we’ll demystify the compressor and other dynamics processors. “I don’t really know what a compressor does, but I put it on everything because it just makes things sound better.” This is the mentality that a lot of early producers have, and thinking this way hinders their ability to make informed decisions when producing and mixing. I remember one of my friends talking about compressors when we first started getting into music production.
