ReaGate

Cockos

ReaGate is an ultra-configurable noise gate designed to filter out sound when volume falls below a specified threshold, commonly used to eliminate unwanted background noise such as breath sounds between vocal phrases. It features auxiliary sidechain control, lookahead functionality, and the ability to send MIDI events on gate open/close, making it highly versatile for both straightforward gating and creative applications like ducking.
