Sonible – smart:gate v1.0.1 for WiN

smart:gate provides intelligent source detection, focusing on the selected target signal source. Compared to conventional gates, smart:gate provides stable results and performs parameterization incredibly quickly and easily.

• Content-aware gateway processing
  
• Wide selection of instruments and sound profiles
  
• Visual accompaniment and intellectual evasion
  

Targeting the Source

Gating can be a tricky business, but with smart:gate it’s as simple as selecting the target source from a drop-down menu. Whether you’re targeting vocals, electric guitar, piano, or something else, smart gating works reliably, even if the level of the target source changes or a competing instrument is louder than the signal you want to preserve. With content-aware processing, smart:gate delivers where regular gating plugins fail.

Analytics to speed up your workflows

Finally, a gate that can truly differentiate between a mix and the signal component it contains. Target signal activity and the gate are visualized in detail. Together with the instant playback function, you have all the information you need to parameterize and adjust faster – all with familiar controls and without any guesswork.

Intuitive interface with many useful features

In addition to intelligent detection of target sources, smart:gate has many features for fine-tuning, such as a three-band suppression network for weighting the gating across the frequency spectrum. Level offset allows for more level-dependent processing, which is very useful when you need to refine the response to transient target sources. 

And since gating and ducking are closely related in the processing flow, the gating plugin can be switched to ducking mode, providing the same target-oriented functionality. You can also use smart:gate without the context-aware AI features as a regular gate
