Silver Gate
The Silver Gate is a simplified version of the Noise Gate. It has fewer parameters and
requires less CPU power.
Silver Gate Parameters
 Lookahead slider and field: Adjusts how far ahead (in milliseconds) the noise gate
analyzes the signal.
 Threshold slider and field: Sets the level (in decibels) below which the signal is
reduced.
 Attack knob and field: Sets the amount of time it takes to fully open the gate after
the signal exceeds the threshold.
 Hold knob and field: Sets the amount of time the gate is kept open after the signal
falls below the threshold.
 Release knob and field: Sets the amount of time it takes to fully close the gate after
the signal falls below the threshold.
Using the Silver Gate
The parameters of the Silver Gate work in the same way as on the Noise Gate. For more
information, see “Noise Gate on page 49.
