It's funny. Although I have been instrumental in promoting the concept of selective noise-gate in my country, I almost never use them today, in fact since I switched from dedicated recorder to recording in a PC.alexc said:Good luck with it - gating is a fine enterprise. I couldn't get by without my ones scattered throughout the place.
I do that in the DAW, and even then, I don't use the noise-gate plug-ins. I use the De-noiser a lot, that works by grabbing an imprint of noise and applying an inverse filter, and pure and simple editing for cleaning lip noise, breath and whatever unwanted random noise. I don't even use the de-breath plug-in.
