Gate

Pro-G

FabFilter

Pro-G is a gate/expander plugin designed for dynamic range control across diverse audio sources. It features five program-dependent expander/gate algorithms (Classic, Clean, Vocal, Guitar, and Upward) plus a dedicated Ducking mode, high-quality 64-bit processing, and comprehensive controls for threshold, ratio, range, attack, release, and hold time. Pro-G excels at noise suppression, bleed reduction, and dynamic enhancement with options for transparent or colored gating depending on the chosen style.

Key Features

01Five program-dependent expander/gate algorithms (Classic, Clean, Vocal, Guitar, Upward) plus a dedicated Ducking mode
02Adjustable hold time up to 250 ms with optional look-ahead up to 10 ms
0364-bit internal processing with up to 4x linear-phase oversampling
04Expert mode with customizable side-chain filtering (48 dB/octave high-pass and low-pass)
05Mid/Side processing for independent control of mono and stereo information
06Real-time transfer curve visualization showing input/output relationship

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Guitar style with a ratio of 2:1 to 5:1 to gently follow natural decay while preserving liveness
  • 02Enable look-ahead time up to 10 ms with shorter attack times to preserve transients without distortion
  • 03Apply 48 dB/octave high-pass filtering in Expert mode to trigger only on vocals and avoid flutter from low-frequency rumble
  • 04Set Mid/Side processing to trigger on mid signal only for more stable and controlled gating of centered vocals
