The expander sets a threshold limit, which is not what I want.

What I want is like this, Ill try to describe it, or what I think what I want. So, you have the, what do you call it, sorry Im a complete noob, its the picture of an audio clip, looks like a spiky long thing. Its the waveform? Anyway, if you can understand what I mean, it is spiky and the spikes indicate louder noises and the lower parts indicate more quiet passages. So my whole idea is, if you exaggerate this waveform or what you call it, then it will look much more spikey. So the spikes grow bigger and the lower parts grow lower.

This is a really simple concept, right? There must be some king of automatic way to do this. this would make a uniform change in the dynamics as far as I can imagine and think.

Ok, thanks for answering my stupid questions, Im a complete idiot if you didn’t figure out already, so thanks for your patience

keyframe, no. It would not be consistent enough and would require an awful amount of work.

There must be some tool that does this simply. If you can imagine an audio and its waveform, or whatever u call its picture u get, and make it more exaggerated, so it looks more spikey. That is what I think would create the effect I am looking for
