You can achieve longer gate times(up to 10 secs) by typing in the text box instead of a slider. At the maximum gate may “Flutter” or “Snap.” The gate maximum (1000ms) the gate slowly opens(fades in) one second before the sound level goes past the threshold then gradually shuts (Fades out) after the audio level drops below the threshold for a second. The gate minimum is 10ms, and it may open fully then close almost instantly as the audio level crosses the threshold. If the setting is up to satisfaction, then apply Noise Gate to the whole song.The default setting Level is – 12 dB, and it works well. Once your threshold is correctly set, increase the “Level reduction” settings to the highest environment that produces a reasonable amount of gating.Press CTRL + Z to undo if it is necessary to adjust the threshold level. However, you should easily hear if the threshold is set right. The gate is fully closed and produces an absolute silence when closed, and sound may be unnatural. Use Noise Gate with these settings: Click on Function > Gate Level reduction > -100- Carefully listen to see that the noise is being cut, yet the audio is still present.

The opening and closing of the gate is triggered by incoming MIDI-notes - note on events trigger the opening phase, note-off events trigger the closing phase. Choose a part of the audio track that has both sound and silence. A VST plugIn for the creation of gate effects Trance-Gate was developed to be a VST plugIn for the creation of gate effects.Click on Function > Analyze Noise level and take note of the suggested threshold level.Open Noise Gate Effect and select noise only.
