Gates Bundle (Download)

The Slate Digital Gates Bundle is one of the most important tools in your mixing arsenal. If used tactically, gates can eliminate or reduce unwanted bleed or background noise from recorded source material. Used creatively, its applications are virtually limitless. The Gates Bundle introduces two new gate modules. These include Gate: Classic and Gate: Drums. With Slate Digital Gates Bundle, you can access virtually limitless gating options without ever having to leave your Virtual Mix Rack workflow.

Gate: Classic is a traditional, straightforward gate that is highly efficient in removing background noise from guitars, vocals, and other acoustically-recorded source material. It allows you to kill unwanted background noise in a variety of source material with ease. It features a classic gate setup with traditional parameters. These parameters include threshold, ratio, range, attack, release, slope and two distinct gate modes. Gate: Classic also features highly-accurate sidechain filters, providing an array of creative options across the mix.

Gate: Drums is a highly-sophisticated drum application. It combines a gate based on transient detection with smart dynamic filtering so you can achieve far cleaner drum tracks than with a conventional gate. Unlike Gate: Classic, Gate: Drums is based on transient input. This means that the gate is triggered by sharp and soft transients rather than volume levels. With this unique processing, you can separate the transient from the signal tail, and apply different processes to each.
