GGate is a noise gate effect designed to control audio signal levels by silencing sounds that fall below a set threshold. It effectively mutes unwanted background noise during quieter sections of a track, ensuring cleaner audio output without affecting the main signal when it surpasses the threshold.

The plugin allows precise control over how the gating process behaves through adjustable parameters such as Fade and Attack. Fade determines the duration for the signal to fade out when muting, while Attack controls the time it takes for the signal to return to normal once it exceeds the threshold. These options provide smooth transitions and natural sound dynamics.

When mixing multiple recorded tracks, cumulative background noise can become noticeable and distracting during silent or quiet passages. GGate offers a straightforward and effective solution to eliminate this noise by automatically silencing parts of the audio track that are intended to be silent, helping achieve a professional and polished mix.
