Noise Gate for Windows

Signaling Threshold - Noise Gate

NOISE GATE VST Plugin is an easy-to use noise gate VST plugin - simple audio cancellation ("c cancellation") above the normal limits of audio mixing. It is useful for music recording and mixing where a high volume is desired. Noise gate can be used for "stretching out" high sounds that don't warrant separate processing. It can be used with a compressor or limiter to reduce excessive kick drum sound. The noise gate plug-ins can also be used to reduce the length of long audio pieces. They can also generate limiting automation.

Noise gates employ complex mathematical algorithms to determine the threshold signal. This is basically a measure for maximum distortion of any signal. The threshold can be set at a maximum value to stop the signal clipping after a specified "time". This feature allows the user to adjust the level of distortion. Noise gate is a versatile piece of equipment. They have a simple one-to-two touch operation and a programmable stack limit. Another innovative feature is the stack limit. It allows the user to adjust the volume level beyond the threshold limit. This makes noise gates suitable for signal clipping prevention.

Depending on your needs, noise gating can be achieved in a variety of ways. You can use an envelope follower with a ratio approximately 1:1 or multiply the amplitude with a threshold value. A high ratio will make the signal more "excited" which will result in a louder signal. A high threshold will make it harder to hear the signal above all other noise. A noise gate unit, along with all the cables, is a useful addition to any audio recording studio.
