Gate/Expander
The Gate/Expander attenuates the signal whenever its energy falls beneath the gate threshold.
With moderate settings, the gate will attenuate certain low-level
sounds. More aggressive settings result in a particular “gated”
effect.
Controls and displays that relate to the Gate section are blue.

Input Meter
Displays the input to the plugin. This serves as a reference for setting the Gate threshold.
Gate Threshold
Sets the level at which the gate will start attenuating, based on the settings of the other controls. When input signal
is significantly above the threshold, there will be no gain reduction. Gain reduction begins when input signal falls
below the threshold and increases until all peaks fall under the Threshold setting. The Gate threshold value is shown
on the fader button.
Range: -Infinity to +18.0 dB
