[RELEASE]Area 
The release time is how long it takes for the gate to return to its default level
after the signal falls below the threshold point. Too short of a release time
causes the signal to return to the default gain too quickly and can cut off the
decay of the signal. A long release time could cause the gate to let too much
of the unwanted portion of the signal to pass. Values for release time are
from 5 msec to 2 000 msec.

[EXPANDER]mode
[THL] Area
Threshold sets the level at which the expander begins to make the signal

not be affected by the expander. Signals above the threshold point will be
raised in volume by the ratio set. Values for the threshold are -80 dB to -15
dB.
[RATIO] Area
The ratio parameter sets the amount of expansion (amount of output signal
change compared to the amount of input signal change). Values for ratio are
from 1:1 to...
