Avid

Where to get itAvailable from Kiloheartskilohearts.com
Gate by Kilohearts is a dynamic gate plugin that lets audio through only when input level exceeds a set threshold. It provides precise control over attack, hold, and release timing, with additional features like hysteresis (tolerance), look-ahead for transient preservation, and a flip mode for reverse gating. The integrated VU meter displays input level, threshold, tolerance, and gate state for clear real-time feedback.
