EQ Ear Training - Dynamics

On this second ear training exercise we were tasked with using a DAW and using tracks within our DAW that we could throw compression or noise gates on to see what kind of different results we could achieve with our sounds. I thought it was crazy the different kinds of things you can cut out entirely from your sounds. I have an arpeggiated track that goes from gently electric to what is essentially digital pots and pans haha. The noise gate clips so heavily into some of the frequencies that it just straight up cuts parts out of the original sounds and creates skips.

I went ahead and added a second track with the same sound information but with the Noise Gate off to record the difference.
