What Is a Noise Gate? | Audio Dynamics 101

What is a gate, and how can it be used in mixing to improve your next project? Follow along as Sam Loose demystifies dynamics processing, wrapping up the series with gates. Learn what noise gates are and how they provide a floor level which an audio signal must cross to get through the gate. Plus discover how gates can be used in mixing for creative effect or to cut out audio when it’s quiet and unneeded.

I've seen a lot of videos on audio and this is by far one of the clearest videos explaining gates that I've seen!

[@frontified]

I wish you guys would make a famous music studio emulator like slate digital vsx but without the headphones

[@Tottorul]

Wait, how does an expander lower the signal, I thought it would increase it, and that compressors lower the signal...
