The plug-in automatically detects the presence of a chosen target source (e.g. vocals
• keys
• kick) and allows to focus on this source when gating. Unlike conventional gates
• does not open or close depending on the overall level of the input signal
• but it only reacts to signal components belonging to the target. This content-awareness helps to make the gate much more stable and easier to parametrize than conventional gates and it even allows to use the gate
• if some background signal occasionally exceeds the level of the target source. Now for the first time
• gating can be as simple as selecting a target source from a drop-down menu. Whether you’re targeting vocals
• electric guitar
• piano or a suite of other options
• the result is a gate that delivers reliably even if a target source varies in level
• or if a competing instrument is louder than the signal you want to keep. Simple Setup
• Powerful Control visualizer traces the level of the detected target signal
• not the entire input signal
•  making parametrization straightforward and faster. With sonible’s ‘Instant Replay’
• when you change a parameter
• the visualized signal changes the whole signal history
• predicting the impact on the entire signal. With Level Bias
• the gating behavior can follow the detected signal more or less closely – great for refining the response on transient material like drums
• or keeping non-transient material like vocalsmore natural. You can also use without its content-aware AI features
• for operation as a conventional gate. Gating response can be customized further with the ‘Impact control’
• which scales back the amount of gain reduction applied when the gate is closed. also offers a Ducking mode to reduce the target signal instead of passing it through. A three-band suppression network helps to weight gating across the frequency spectrum. Going For The Signal Source Gating can be a tricky task – with it’s as simple as selecting a target source from a drop-down menu. Whether you’re targeting vocals
• electric guitar
• piano or one of many other options
• the intelligent gate reliably delivers even when the target source varies in level
• or a competing instrument is louder than the signal you want to keep. content-aware processing unlocks its full power where conventional gate plug-ins struggle. Insights For Faster Workflows Finally
• a gate that is truly able to differentiate between a mix and the signal component contained within it. Both the target signal’s activity and the gating are visualized in detail. Together with Instant Replay
• you are provided with all the insights you need to get your parametrization and tweaking done much faster – all with familiar controls and without any guesswork. Intuitive Interface Packed With Great Features Besides its intelligent target source detection
• sports a host of features for fine-tuning
• such as a three-band suppression network for weighting the gating across the frequency spectrum. The level bias enables you to increase the level-dependency of the processing – extremely handy when you want refine the response to transient target sources. And
• since gating and ducking are closely related in their processing
• the gate plug-in can be switched to ducking mode
• offering you the same target-focused functionality. You can also use without its content-aware AI features as a conventional gate. Features Content-aware gate processing Wide range of instrument and sound profiles to determine the target source Familiar control over gating response: Threshold
• Attack/Release
• Hold
• Tolerance Visual guidance on target source detection for easier parametrization ‘Instant replay’ prediction after parameter changes With ‘No Target’
• conventional
• non-AI gating is still possible Content-aware ducking mode to reduce selected target signal Tailor gating across the frequency spectrum with three-band suppression control External sidechain input; detection in mono/mid or side signals  Available Formats: AAX
