Why doesnt my GATE WORK?!
Yet another frustrating problem that I can't find the answer to via search...
I set up a sidechain gate in the Expander/gate Dyn 3 plug in, and it is working fine until about 2 minutes into the song, it STOPS working. If I fool around and click the audio track that is going to the gate, it sometimes works, but WTH? Is it Pro Tools or mE? |

Re: Why doesnt my GATE WORK?!
Not nagging, but its probably you Having said that, there are some things to check. Did you accidentally click on the Sidechain button on the plugin? Is it in bypass mode(yes, I've done it). Can you post a screen shot. (use the Print Screen function, paste and save as a jpeg, upload to a free photo hosting site like photobucket and paste the link here). Beyond that, there's also the trick of clearing the track of all unwanted audio(assuming drum tracks here) and adding fades where needed(I rarely use a gate plugin for drums)

Re: Why doesnt my GATE WORK?!
Albee has covered this I believe, but what is fed into the sidechain bus? During recording sessions I always put sidechained gates on my FX returns, and I have a mono audio track with a sine signal triggering the gates. So, every time playback stops, the gates close, and I can talk to the talent without FX in the monitors or cue mix. Works great.
But, one time we made the bridge longer on one song, and I forgot to lengthen the sine signal to make up for that, which led to the immidiate death of all FX in the middle of the last chorus. Took me a while to figure it out.
