I recently learned what an audio expander is (because ATEM Mini has it built in via Fairlight audio controls), and now I want a dedicated expander for recording in my studio. There’s quite a few on the market; any specific preferences, recommendations, or things to watch out for?

Your audio has always sounded fine to me. Do you clean it up in post to get rid of the fan noise? Or wanting to be able to tolerate new background noise?

I always do post work. and the live show has a gate but that’s not good enough for recorded content.
