Once I set a gate at an event to try and remedy a noisy preamp. (This was the first time the input was noisy and I was short extra channels). At this event, a few professional voice actors were speaking. One of them called me out on the gate and asked me to remove it... That was fun. I reduced it some, but admittedly it was the first time I'd ever used a gate and I didn't know enough to do it right. I ended up passing the VA another mic in the moment. It was a little relieving to hear that gates can be tricky on vocals. That means mine was probably terrible and I just couldn't hear it at the time. It was really subtle, just enough to hide the subtle noise, but the VA could surely tell. Equipment was a Behringer X Air digital mixer.

Thanks for sharing that 😁 Mistakes are a great learning tool and I'm made tons. The only time I will use gating is if I have a large discussion group and everyone has their own mic, but even then it can be tricky.

Thanks heaps! Really well explained. On the Soundcraft UI, we have the little red X flashing on one of our channels down the bottom, from what you've said it looks like our gate might be set too high? Not only do we see the red X flashing, but we also get the levels dropping in and out, so I think that makes sense of the gate being too high.

Glad you figured it out. I only use gating rarely. If often causes more problems than it fixes. ;) One situation where I have used it was for large discussion panel where every speaker was wearing their own mic. It helps not to have seven open mics at once. As each speaker would wait their turn, the gate would close their channel but they could all join the discussion at any time.

A good video, except for one minor error at 1:15 in. On the Soundcraft Compressor screen, the Input scale is shown across the bottom and Output scale is to the left. Thus when ratio is lowered, you can read the left hand scale (Output) by following grid lines that intersect with the light-blue line. (I know. I am splitting hairs here, but if it makes it easier to understand, it may help a newbie.)

An X32's gate can be set as an expander. What is a good use of an expander?
@proclaimav4197
@proclaimav4197 3 жыл бұрын
Generally to expand the dynamic range of a signal. I like them because they don't entirely chop off the signal like a proper gate, but they tend to work like a reverse compressor Because they reduce quiet noises but don't cut the signal entirely like a gate, they sound much less jarring IMO. Check out this helpful article. www.music-tech.com/expanders-uses/

Sir how to connect compressor audio to mixer....but may mixer is nothing insert in my mixer..how to hook it
@proclaimav4197
@proclaimav4197 Жыл бұрын
Hi Randy, You will need inserts if you want to use it on a single channel since you can't plug a mic level signal into the compressor. If you have a wireless mic, you could do it by plugging the output of the wireless mic receiver into the compressor and the output of the compressor into the mixer channel. If you want to add compression to the whole mix, just connect the output of your mixer to the compressor input and the output of the compressor to the amplifier input. :)
