Sidechain Gate

Crisp clean gating from the plug-in gate with true multi
track side-chaining operation.

side-chain gating the easy way
Sidechain Gate lets you perform clever mixing techniques
by using a source track to gate a destination track. For
example you can use a complex hi-hat pattern in one track
to rhythmically gate a synth pad in another track. Or
simplify a busy bass guitar by gating it from a kick drum
track (so the bass guitar is only heard when the kick drum
sounds).

Whats more Sidechain Gate is easy to use and works in
almost any audio software package - even those that do not
directly support side-chaining***. It only takes a few
mouse clicks and youre up and running

Intelligent Gating On Single Tracks Too
Sidechain Gate also performs brilliantly as a conventional
insert effect. The EQ and Shape controls allow you to
intelligently gate problem recordings. Say you want to
clean up a noisy recording of a snare drum which has some
bleed-through from a crash cymbal. Simply use the Hi Cut
control to filter out the higher frequencies and then the
gate will only open when the snare is hit.

Universal Sidechains
At the heart of Sidechain Gate is db audiowares Universal
Sidechains the most popular and well-tested independent
side-chain method on the market. Universal Sidechains let
you side-chain in most multi track hosts even if the host
software itself does not have that native capability***.

So when you want to do multi track side-chaining simply
open two copies of Sidechain Gate one in your send track
and one in your receive track. Set the plug-in controls
as shown below and your Universal Sidechain is ready to go

Notice that when set up like this (External Trig is on)
the send plug-in does not gate the audio but passes
audio unprocessed directly to its output. Only the
receive plug-in acts as a gate. For full details please
see the User Manual.

MIDI Control
If you prefer to control your plug-ins with hardware knobs
or sliders Sidechain Gate is happy to oblige. Thanks to
db audiowares easy-to-use MIDI Learn feature its simple
to map any on-screen control to your favourite external
MIDI control surface.
