372 Audio Plug-ins

The Gate section

Gating, or noise gating, is a method of dynamic processing that silences audio signals below

a set threshold level. As soon as the signal level exceeds the set threshold, the gate opens to

let the signal through. The Gate trigger input can also be ﬁltered using an internal side-chain.

The following parameters are available:

Threshold (-60 to 0dB)

Determines the level where Gate is activated. Signal levels above the set threshold trigger

the gate to open, and signal levels below the set threshold close the gate.

State LED

Indicates whether the gate is open (LED lights up in green), closed (LED lights up in red) or

something in between (LED lights up in yellow).

Side-Chain button

This button activates the internal side-chain ﬁlter. You can use this to ﬁlter out parts of the sig-

nal that might otherwise trigger the gate in places you not want it to, or to boost frequencies

you wish to accentuate, allowing for more control over the gate function.

LP (low-pass), BP (band-pass), HP (high-pass)

These buttons set the basic ﬁlter mode.

Center (50 to 22000Hz)

Sets the center frequency of the ﬁlter.

Q-Factor (0.001 to 10000)

Sets the resonance or width of the ﬁlter.

Monitor (On/Off)

Allows you to monitor the ﬁltered signal.

Attack (0.1 to 100ms)

Sets the time it takes for the gate to open after being triggered.

Hold (0 to 2000ms)

Determines how long the gate stays open after the signal drops below the threshold level.

Release (10 to 1000ms or Auto mode)

Sets the amount of time it takes for the gate to close (after the set hold time). If the Auto

button is activated, Gate will ﬁnd an optimal release setting, depending on the audio material.

The Compressor section

The compressor reduces the dynamic range of the audio, making softer sounds louder or

louder sounds softer, or both. It works like a standard compressor with separate controls

for threshold, ratio, attack, release and make-up gain. The compressor features a separate

display that graphically illustrates the compressor curve shaped according to the Threshold,

Ratio and Make-Up Gain parameter settings. It also features Gain Reduction meters and a

program-dependent Auto feature for the Release parameter.

The available parameters work as follows:
