Auto
Activate this to set the Release time automatically. The Gate analyzes the input
sound continuously to find the optimal setting.
Peak/RMS
Determines whether the input signal is analyzed according to peak or RMS values
(or a mixture of both). At a setting of 0
%, the Gate uses Peak sensing only and
at 100
%, RMS sensing only. Peak means that the Gate directly senses the peak
level of the sound. RMS means that the Gate senses the average power of the
sound. Peak sensing responds faster than RMS sensing. Typically, Peak sensing
is used for transient and RMS sensing for sustained sounds.
Live
If this button is activated, the look-ahead feature of the effect is disengaged.
Look-ahead produces more accurate processing, but adds a certain amount
of latency as a trade-off. If Live mode is activated, there is no latency, which is
better for live processing.
Envelope Shaper
This effect can be used to attenuate or boost the gain of the attack and release phase of
audio material.
Be careful with levels when boosting the gain and, if needed, reduce the output level to avoid
clipping.
Attack – Gain
Changes the gain of the attack phase of the signal.
Attack - Length
Determines the length of the attack phase of the signal.
Release - Gain
Changes the gain of the release phase of the signal.
Output
Sets the output level.
