Noise gates implemented with hysteresis feature two threshold values-one to trigger the opening of the gate, and the other, set a few dB below the first, to close the gate. Rather than completely removing noise, it can be regulated and limited. Range (measured in dB): The sum of signal (dB) that can pass through the gate even when it is closed. Release (measured in mS): Time is taken by the gate to fully close after the signal falls below the threshold. Hold (measured in mS or S): After the threshold is exceeded, the gate must remain open for this minimum amount of time.
Threshold (measured in dB): Specifies the level at which the gate opensĪttack (measured in mS): Time taken by the gate to open fully once the threshold is crossed The two basic modes of operation of a noise gate are open and closed, but the signal can be further formed and modified using the various controls of a gate. If sound passes this threshold, the gate opens, allowing the sound to pass through. When the sound level falls below this level, the gate closes, effectively blocking all noise. If you've set a noise threshold, a gate can stop any sound or noise from accessing your audio channel. Rock musicians use a stompbox type noise gate hardware to cancel noise from the guitar amplification system. It either let the sound go or completely cut it out. Standing at the gate they first check you and then let you go. Some consider gates analogous to Bouncers seen in clubs.
The threshold value is set above the level of the noise so that the gate closes when the main signal is absent. The Noise gate comes into operation when the level of the signal is above that of the noise. Noise gates do not remove noise from the signal itself. They come in various forms starting from free plug-in software for DAWs to expensive electronic hardware and everything in between. Noise gates are used to lower the volume of a signal if that drops below a pre-defined value called the threshold. A noise gate is a dynamic processor type electronic device of software that is employed to control the volume of an audio signal.
