Attack
The time taken for a sound to achieve its maximum amplitude, or for an electronic device to reach the full extent of its action. Drums generally have a fast attack, whereas bowed strings typically have a slow attack. In compressors and gates, the attack time equates to how quickly the processor can reduce the signal level.
Expander
A hardware or software plug-in device designed to increase the dynamic range, typically by reducing the volume of low level signals (below a set threshold), or to increase the volume of high level signals (above a threshold). (See Compressor.)
VCA
Voltage Controlled Amplifier. An amplifier in which the gain (or attenuation) is controlled by an external DC voltage. VCA's are used in a wide range of audio and musical equipment, such as fader-automation systems in large format mixing consoles, audio compressors, and synthesizers.
