Dynamics
MultibandExpander
Steinberg
Included with Cubase
Isolate and tighten low-level noise across four frequency bands with zero-latency live processing for pristine recordings.
Where to get itIncluded with Studio One. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.presonus.com
Expander is a fully variable downward expander with range control that increases the dynamic range of signals by attenuating low-level signals while leaving louder portions unchanged—the opposite of compression. It features sidechain capability with an internal sidechain filter offering variable low-cut and high-cut, making it ideal for decreasing unwanted noise or bleed and restoring dynamic range to compressed material.

Big Beautiful Door 2 is a gate plugin that redefines dynamics processing by combining surgical gating with tonal shaping. It allows you to independently EQ the opened and closed gate positions for precise control, enabling applications from noise gating and drum de-bleeding to creative frequency shaping. This isn't a traditional gate—it's a paradigm shift in how you approach dynamics and tone.
