Slate Digital Gates Audio Gate Bundle

The Slate Digital Gates bundle reimagines gating with two advanced tools—Gate: Classic and Gate: Drums—available directly within the Virtual Mix Rack workflow. Designed for audio engineers seeking precision and versatility, this bundle offers solutions for both noise elimination and creative sound manipulation. Gate: Classic provides clean, efficient gating for vocals, guitars, and other acoustic sources, while Gate: Drums introduces transient detection and dynamic filtering for unmatched drum track clarity. With an intuitive interface and innovative features, the Gates Bundle empowers professionals to craft pristine mixes and explore limitless creative possibilities. From eliminating unwanted bleed to creating unique sonic textures, this bundle ensures optimal control and precision in every session.

Gate: Classic for Noise Elimination

The Gate: Classic module is a streamlined yet powerful tool for removing background noise from a variety of recorded sources. Its dual modes—Classic and Vocal—offer tailored detection for different applications. While Classic mode uses amplitude-based detection with highpass and lowpass filters, Vocal mode introduces internal filtering and a smooth timing circuit to handle the subtleties of vocal performances, including breathing. Adjustable parameters like threshold, ratio, attack and release ensure precise control, while the sidechain filters provide creative options for shaping the gate's response. This module's efficiency allows engineers to achieve clean, professional-grade tracks with minimal effort.

Gate: Drums for Transient-Based Clarity

Gate: Drums takes a unique approach to gating, using transient detection rather than amplitude-based signals to trigger the gate. This design allows engineers to separate the transient attack from the signal tail, applying distinct processing to each for refined drum tracks. Organized into three sections—transient detection, gating and debleeding—this module offers a meticulous workflow for controlling dynamics. Features such as detection filters, transient thresholds and dynamic tail filtering ensure precision across every hit, while the Debleed function removes unwanted resonance for cleaner tones. Gate: Drums excels in delivering sharp, impactful drum tracks that cut through any mix.

Optimized Workflow Within Virtual Mix Rack

Both Gate: Classic and Gate: Drums integrate seamlessly into the Virtual Mix Rack environment, streamlining the gating process for professional audio engineers. By eliminating the need for external plugins or DAW-based gating tools, these modules provide efficient, direct access to powerful gating options. Their intuitive layouts and customizable parameters simplify complex processes, allowing users to focus on crafting the perfect mix. Built for modern workflows, these tools enhance productivity while delivering consistent, high-quality results during tracking, mixing, and mastering sessions.
