PSE allows you to reduce stage bleed and feedback sensitivity when a mic is idle by automatically lowering mic levels between musical phrases. Perfect for live sound and for mixing live recordings.
At the heart of the Primary Source Expander (PSE) plugin is a precision expander, made especially for melodic sources such as vocals, guitars, strings, brass, guitar instruments. wood blowing and more. The PSE works like a fader that smoothly attenuates the channel level when the source goes below the threshold you've set. You determine the threshold and amount of attenuation.
Reducing stage noise leakage when the mics are idle will help you get an overall mix that is more coherent, more focused and with better phase relationships.

PSE also provides advanced sidechain and ducking controls for greater consistency and accuracy when handling complex live scenarios. Whether you're mixing FOH or monitors in a live location or working on a live recording in the studio, PSE will ensure that your mics are as loud and clean as possible, while preserving the source's original tone and the natural ambience of your location .
