It is amazing how people will carp and whine about some aspect of a 'free' tutorial. This is a GREAT tutorial on how a gate/ ducker works and a great 'Trick.' Take the idea and run with it ... or just move on. From me, thank you!

Thanks dude. This is extremely helpful for quarantine.

This is very clearly explained and well-organized. Best noise gate demo around. Thank you.

Love the Bonus Tip! Really appreciate it!

Great video, really well explained, great that you covered every section of the noise gate. I use noise gates on my guitars but never really understood the intricacies. Thank you.. subscribed! 👍

Great tute!

Thanks. I would start filtering frequencies, and then setting volumes.

This is the best and most thorough tutorial on the use of noise gates. I subbed and downloaded the cheat sheet. Thanks.

Excellent ! Thanks .

Great explanation. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial - 👍👍👍

Bout time been needing a video on this

Bonus trick: 18:05

Thanks for the cheat sheets.I will check them out at let you know how the work out.Thanks again in advance

Very helpful thank you.

I came here to learn more about gates I ended learning more about side chains fantastic! 🔥

This was an excellent tutorial. I hated the gate until I saw this video.

this is the exact kind of thing i wish i could find for every stock audio effect in logic because i want to understand all that vocabulary!!

That song hit my soul

How would you recommend including a noise gate in live audio - say for speech in an outdoor windy location? (for an outdoor wedding ceremony near the ocean, as an example) Thanks in advance for your tips!

Great explanation, thanks! I'm just a little confused about the ducker part. How is that different from side chain compression?

Great Vid

Good stuff guitarist that have noisy pickups even clean can use a good noise suppressor / gate. Live gates can get you much more Db in over all mix using gates on drums, Vox's , guitar's in the rig will work better in less feedback from live monitors / stage volume which is what LIVE music is about!

At the end, the ducker/gate light does not engage once you move the ducking down to -1-3db. You sure it is doing anything?

Live vocal eq and comp setting please

Ducker for vocals - something like Waves Vocal rider?

Nice i formation brother

I really like the intro song-is that a band/other music??

Thanks for all you help. I have a question. When I apply compresor I start noticing asome Hiss noise at the track. I tried to removed it wi denoiser, but It's not enough. Thanks

How does “vox sc” bus impact the latency issue? What changes?

Thank you for a great tutorial, but I have a question… in the bonus section after applying the side chain gate for the vocals I completely lose the ability to use the volume level on the group tracks. Is there a way that I can do both because once you put them to that bus you no longer have control over group volumes, ie: I can control the overall instrument volume but not my Drums , Bass, Guitars and other instrument groups. With them set to the bus like that I have to change each individual volume, which, as you know can be a pain. I really like the ducking trick, but if I have to lose that ability, it might not be worth it, do you have any tips or suggestions on a way around?

I'm sorry I may have missed this.. but what gate is this? It's simple and easy work flow has me intrigued.. I wanna compare this one to the one in pt.and reaper.aswell as cakewalk stock gates

Which daw gate is this please ? I can’t see the name

As a drummer, I would Gate the Tom mics. Toms sit idle a lot.

I loved the bonus trick but unfortunately can't apply it well in ableton !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! coz once the vocal is running the instrument cut down completely .. how can I reduce the volume of the instrument when the vocal runs. there is no reduction knob in the gate of ableton

Information

I have a question. What is being said in the intro? Can’t tell

Isn't that a hi hat playing on the snare track? Why not just move it? Or is that a drum kit track? You confused me a little there although I understand the gate thing. However the cheat sheet is the best I've ever seen for anything at all!

That ducking example is not subtle at all. It sounds terrible, manipulated, unnatural. I think it's a pretty cool thing, but that is jus a terrible example.
