When it comes to live sound, not all expander plug-ins are equal. Waves developed their Primary Source Expander to provide an easy way to prevent mic bleed and feedback. A simple user interface makes it easy to dial in gentle, natural-sounding volume-control settings.
Using the Primary Source Expander plug-in is easy. Once your audio dips below your set threshold, it mimics the effect of pulling down the channel's fader. You decide how far the level drops to get the best results. Primary Source Expander also includes sidechain and ducking controls. These let you achieve greater consistency when you deal with complex mixing setups. From front of house to monitor mixes, the Waves Primary Source Expander will let you create cleaner mixes than ever.
