By adjusting the release time, the synthesiser will appear to play a perfectly timed sequence of notes which
will add interest and rhythm to the arrangement.

In a similar way, a bass drum may be beefed up by using it to key a low frequency tone produced by a
synthesiser (or even the console oscillator) and mixing this gated tone with the original drum sound. A snare
drum may be given added
bite by keying high frequency noise.
Gating vocals
In a recording studio, vocals usually need to be gated to remove studio ambience, headphone noise, breaths
etc. This is best done after the vocal has been committed to the recording medium, otherwise it may be
possible to gate out accidentally something which should have been recorded.
If gating is carried out as the vocal is being recorded, it is important not to gate the signal before it is fed to
the vocalist's headphones. Many vocalists find a gated headphone feed distracting and it makes it more
difficult to find the right note to come in on.
