Chapter 98: Using Eleven 543
Using the Noise Gate
You can use the Noise Gate to silence unwanted
signal noise or hum, or just for an effect.
To use the Noise Gate to clean up unwanted, low
level noise:
1 Connect and calibrate your guitar as explained
in “1: Connect your Guitar and Configure Source
Input” on page 534.
2 For the next steps, hold your guitar but don’t
play it (and be sure to leave its volume up). You
should hear only the noise that we’ll soon get rid
of.
3 To make it easier to hear the effect, begin by
setting the Release to its middle (12 o’clock) po-
sition.
4 Now raise the Threshold control to its highest
setting, fully clockwise, so that the Gate fully
closes (you shouldn’t hear anything coming
through Eleven).
5 Slowly lower the Threshold control until the
Gate opens again to find the cutoff (or, thresh-
old) of the noise.
6 Raise the Threshold control again slightly, in-
creasing it only enough to once again silence the
noise (hold Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Win) while
adjusting to be able to fine-tune the setting in
tenths of a dB). Now you’re in the ballpark.
7 If you lowered the Release setting as suggested
in step 3, make sure to return it to its maximum
setting (fully clockwise) before continuing.
