Need a Killer Gate Plugin!
Hello all,
I hope this is in the right section. I'm searching for a gate plugin that features USER ADJUSTABLE look-ahead (up to at least 10ms) an adjustable envelope (AHR), and frequency specific triggering. I'm trying to replace my cherished Sonitus gate with something similar on the Mac platform and am having difficulty finding anything that fits the bill. I've never cared much for "auto advanced lookahead" features as they never seem to look quite far enough. The closest thing I've found so far is the Serato/Rane, but I'm not sure about it yet. How about that Wave Arts Trackplug? TDM, RTAS, VST all welcome, as long as they're Mac compatable. |

Hi!
Two ideas: *Wavearts Multidynamics (Multiband, compressor, expander gate) *Sonalksis SV-719 (Sidechain filter, No look-ahead though) Could you tell us why you need lookahead on a gate? Carles |

Re: Need a Killer Gate Plugin!
The best look-ahead gate on the planet will never rival a nice clean snare or kick sample that has been shifted earlier by 20 or 30 ms. A lot of times, I will use soundreplacer to re-trigger a snare (any old sample will do), just so that I can use it to key open a gate. These days, I'm almost always using the digi-rack gate with a shifted sample. Always does exactly what it should. No randomness....
Cheers, eh? |

IMO - second to none is the Channel Strip from Metric Halo...
For the time being you'll need to use the rtas version if gating mono tracks... as the tdm is broke... but it is an AMAZING gate

Yah - Drumagog does a fine job for me for replacement or enhancement, but I prefer the real deal when possible. Thanks though!
That Metric Halo plug: On the website it says "User adjustable 255 sample delay". That's about 6ms right? So does that mean I can open that gate 6ms before the trigger signal goes through? |

Re: Need a Killer Gate Plugin!
My favorite gate is the Sony Oxford Dynamics. It has a short auto lookahead, but it works very well. It does not shave transients and thats one of the reasons I like it so much.
