Gate
Ableton
Included with Ableton Live
Cut hiss and hum between notes or chop off reverb tails, with hysteresis to stop chatter and up to 10 ms lookahead.
Where to get itIncluded with Pro Tools. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.avid.com
The Dyn III Expander/Gate is a dynamics processor that applies expansion or gating to audio based on ratio and range settings. Expansion gently reduces gain below a threshold to control noise and leakage, while gating silences signals below threshold by maximizing both Ratio and Range controls. It includes Look Ahead functionality, visual dynamics graph display, and side-chain EQ for frequency-sensitive triggering.
