The Sidechain Gate plug-in provides clean gating and multi track side-chaining capabilities. Its features enable users to achieve precise audio control.
Sidechain Gate is a powerful software tool that enables users to perform smart mixing techniques by using a source track to gate a destination track. For instance, it allows you to utilize a complex hi-hat pattern in one track to rhythmically gate a synth pad in another, resulting in unique and creative soundscapes. Additionally, you can simplify a busy bass guitar by gating it from a kick drum track. This means that the bass guitar is only audible when the kick drum is played, giving a more rhythmic and structured sound.
One of the best aspects of Sidechain Gate is its ease of use, as it is compatible with almost every audio software available, even those that do not directly support side-chaining. It only takes a few mouse clicks to get started, which is great for users who want to start experimenting with their audio quickly.
Sidechain Gate also performs brilliantly as a conventional insert effect. With the EQ and Shape controls, users are given intelligent gating over any problematic recordings. For example, if you want to clean up a noisy recording of a snare drum with some bleed-through from a crash cymbal, you can simply use the Hi Cut control to filter out higher frequencies. The gate will then only open when the snare is hit, bringing clarity to your recording.
The software is also compatible with external MIDI control surfaces, allowing users to control their plug-ins with hardware knobs or sliders easily. Thanks to db audioware's easy-to-use MIDI Learn feature, mapping any on-screen control to your favourite external MIDI device is a breeze.
Some key features of Sidechain Gate include crisp and low distortion gating even with short attack/release times, easy multi-track side-chaining based on db audioware's Universal Sidechains, one-to-one-track or one-to-many-tracks side-chaining, an elegant user interface with clear visual feedback, precision control over the gating response (EQ & Shape), and full MIDI control with easy-to-use MIDI Learn.
Sidechain Gate has a few limitations, including a demo reminder that appears when the plug-in is started and occasional random bursts of noise from time to time. However, these limitations are minor compared to the many benefits and features of this software tool. Overall, Sidechain Gate is a fantastic investment for anyone who wants to add more depth and creativity to their audio productions.
