This chapter introduces Logic’s special plug-ins.
This includes the Spectral Gate, Pitch Shifter II, SubBass, Denoiser, Exciter, and Stereo
Spread plug-ins, amongst others.
Spectral Gate
The Spectral Gate separates the signals above and below the Threshold level into
frequency ranges that can be independently modulated. It does this via a Fast Fourier
Transformation (FFT) of the entire signal. Technical jargon aside, the Spectral Gate is a
tool that lets you come up with some pretty wacky filtering effects.
The frequency range that you wish to process is defined by the Center Freq. and
Bandwidth knobs. This frequency band is separated by steep slopes. Within this band,
you can use the Threshold slider to determine a level that separates the frequencies
above and below it. The frequencies above the Threshold are made audible with the
Super Energy knob, the frequencies below it with Sub Energy. The original signal, outside
the defined frequency band, can also be added to the mix: Low Level blends in the
frequencies that lie below the frequency band (bass frequencies,) and High Level, the
higher frequencies that lie above the defined frequency band.
