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 76.
Surround Compressor
The Surround Compressor, based on the Compressor, is especially adapted for
compressing complete surround mixes. The Surround Compressor is especially useful
when inserted in a surround output or on channels and busses that carry multichannel
audio.
You can adjust the compression ration, knee, attack, and release for both the main
channels and for the LFE channel. Both the main channels and the LFE channel include
an integrated limiter. In addition, you can set the threshold and output level for each
channel independently.
