Difference Between Noise Gate & Expander 

Dude, thanks for this!!! Very informative. Not sure what a Spectral Denoise is but everything else made relitive sense to this newbie. Always noticed some people's gates sounding horrendous but never knew the alternative solutions. Again, thanks.

Thanks Bandrew. Good info as always. Just out of curiosity, what mic is that?

You’re a good man Bandrew! Do you normally use a hardware gate/expander?

Important question: How do I make the DBX286s turn into an expander?
