Sonible smart:gate
Struggling with unpredictable gating? smart:gate is here to revolutionize your workflow. This intelligent plugin takes the guesswork out of noise reduction by automatically detecting your target source (vocals, drums, etc.) and focusing its gating solely on that element.
Say Goodbye to Frustrating Parameters
Unlike traditional gates that react to everything, smart:gate leverages content-awareness to isolate your target source. This means dramatically improved stability and significantly easier parameter adjustments. A crystal-clear visualizer displays the target signal level, not the entire mix, providing a focused view for intuitive control.
Real-Time Tweaks with "Instant Replay"
Fine-tune your gating with confidence! Sonible's innovative "Instant Replay" feature allows you to see the impact of your parameter changes instantly. As you adjust, the visualized signal dynamically updates both forward and backward in time, giving you a clear picture of how your entire track will sound.
Tailored Gating Responses
smart:gate goes beyond basic on/off gating. With Level Bias, you can customize the gating behavior to perfectly match your source. For transient material like drums, set it to closely follow the target signal. For vocals, maintain a natural response. Want even more control? Utilize the "Impact" control to fine-tune the amount of gain reduction applied when the gate closes.
Unlock Creative Possibilities
smart:gate empowers you to explore beyond traditional noise reduction. Employ the Ducking mode to seamlessly lower the target signal instead of completely silencing it. Additionally, a three-band suppression network allows you to target specific frequencies within the gating process, offering ultimate creative flexibility.
