GATE/EXPANDER
Gate
A Gate is also known as a ”downward
expander”. Meaning that when the signal drops
below a set Threshold the gate will ”close” and
thereby mute the signal. This is especially
useful when trying to remove unwanted
background noise from source material that is
only periodically present. This can be anything
from vocal tracks to noisy guitar-amps. You
can even use it on drums to add a more
percussive feeling to the track.
Threshold
Range: -60 - 0dB
When the Input signal falls below the
Threshold, the Gate starts working. This
means that the higher Threshold the more
gating you will get.
Ratio
Range: Off - Inf:1
This is the Ratio of the gain reduction. If the
Ratio is set to 4:1 it means that for every 1dB
the Input signal decreases, the Output will
decrease by 4dB.
When the Ratio is set to Infinite:1, it means
that when the Input signal falls below the
Threshold, the Output is turned all the way
down.
Attack
Range: 0.5 - 100ms
The Attack time is the fallback time that the
Gate uses to reach the gain reduction
specified by the Ratio parameter.
Example: If the Input signal suddenly drops
4dB below Threshold in no time, with the Ratio
set to 4:1 and the Attack set to 20ms, the
M•ONE will use 20ms to reach a total gain
reduction of 16dB.
Release
Range: 20ms - 7 sec.
Release is the time that the Gate uses to
release the gain reduction when the signal
exceeds the Threshold.
FX Lev
Range: 0 - 100%
The Output level of the Gate.
