The display plots the last few seconds. As processing continues, the display
contents scroll from right to left. The vertical amplitude axis range can be changed
by right-clicking (SHIFT-clicking on Mac) the vertical axis; this will display a popup
menu of choices for vertical axis range. Similarly the horizontal time axis range can
be changed by right clicking (SHIFT-clicking on Mac) the horizontal axis; this will
display a popup menu of choices for horizontal axis range.
7.3 Using MR Gate
A good place to start is to select the “Fast Gate” preset. If you are using the
Master Restoration plug-in, click on the DISPLAY button to bring up the MR Gate
display. Now start playback and adjust the threshold to be just above the level of
the background noise during quiet sections. After the threshold is set, you may
want to adjust the release time to get the most natural sounding decays into
silence. For best results you want to match the release time of the gate with the
release time of the sound you are gating.
If the noise gating is too obtrusive, you may want to reduce the attenuation during
quiet sections. This can be done by using lower ratio values.
Selecting the MONITOR button allows you to hear the sound that has been removed
by the gate. Typically this will contain background noise, and perhaps some
reverberant decay tail from the sound you are gating. If you hear the leading
portions of sound onsets, you may want to increase the lookahead time to prevent
these from being gated.
7.4 Parameters
The table below lists all the internal parameters of MR Gate and shows the range of
values as would be displayed by a generic parameter-value plug-in interface, or by
an automation interface. Most of these parameters have a one to one
correspondence with controls on the user interface.
