UNAGATED is a comprehensive gating plugin designed to enhance dynamic control in audio production. It eliminates unwanted clicking sounds that often occur with fast gate attacks, ensuring smooth and natural transitions without the need for look-ahead processing. This feature allows users to maintain clarity and precision in their tracks while avoiding common gating artifacts.

The plugin offers advanced transient shaping capabilities, enabling precise control over the punchiness of drums by adjusting the loudness of the note's onset separately from its decay. Parameters such as Delay Attack and Force Release work together with Range control to subtly but effectively sculpt the envelope of each sound. This makes it ideal for refining rhythmic elements and enhancing the overall groove of a mix.

UNAGATED also excels in creative applications like rhythmic modulation and bass ducking. By using sidechain input from drum tracks, users can introduce rhythmic variations to pads and other sustained sounds, or reduce bass frequencies to make space for kicks. Additional features include de-bleeding control with hysteresis and a trigger signal scope for precise adjustments. The plugin supports multiple channel formats, including mono, stereo, and surround sound, making it a flexible tool for various production environments.
