Essential Information About MR Gate Software
- Transparent gate/expander to reduce noise during quiet passages without altering the timbre.
- Comprehensive controls: threshold, ratio, attack and release times, plus an adjustable lookahead for ultra-precise detection.
- Real-time dynamic display and metering to dial in settings within seconds.
- Monitor Mode to listen only to the "gated" signal and refine the cleanup.
What MR Gate Is For
MR Gate is designed for track cleanup and fine dynamic control in any digital audio workstation. It eliminates breaths, headphone bleed, hum, or ambient noise between phrases while preserving attack and musicality. Ideal for vocals, guitars, drum kits (toms, snare, overheads) as well as podcasting and post-production, it brings cleanliness and intelligibility to the mix.
Main Features
Precise Dynamic Control
Set a threshold and ratio suited to the source, then shape the response with musical attack and release times. The adjustable lookahead anticipates transients to avoid opening "clicks" and preserve natural attacks.
Immediate Visualization and Calibration
The scrolling display traces the input level and gate attenuation history. Coupled with comprehensive metering, it shows exactly when and by how much the reduction is acting, speeding up the fine-tuning process.
Smooth Workflow in Your DAW
The Monitor mode isolates the gated portion to track bleed and unwanted noise in context. Latency compensation via compatible hosts maintains perfect phase in complex sessions, in mono or stereo, up to 192 kHz.
