sideGATE

sideGATE free gate by whiteLABEL

sideGATE is a free gate VST plugin developed by whiteLABEL. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

sideGATE is a lookahead flexigate with virtual sidechain input.

Features:

  • 2 inputs, 2 outputs.
  • Mono, stereo or dual mono operation.
  • Mixable channels & sidechains.
  • Sidechain filter with HP, LP, resonance & gain.
  • Lookahead of up to 1000 ms.
  • ‘Just in time’ link mode.
  • Channel & sidechain link switches.
  • Sidechain monitoring switches.
  • Response invert switches.
  • Output pan & mix controls.

Uses

Voice Production: Use sideGATE as a lookahead noise-gate when, for example, you have a presenter speaking against background noise. Normal gating would result in a bump in background noise as the presenter speaks and the gate opens but with sideGATE’s lookahead feature the background noise can be gently faded in before the presenter speaks creating a smoother, less objectionable, sound.

Music Production: When the sidechain is higher than the threshold the channel is audible, when lower it is gated – just the sort of functionality needed to gate a reverb according to the level of a snare drum, a synth according to a hi-hat, a bass according to a bass drum and so on.

sideGATE can also be used to alter the attack of a sound (e.g. soften a solo electric guitar making it feel more like a lap steel) and its panned outputs can be used to create a situation where the position of a sound in the stereo field is switched according to its volume.

Shruti Box


A Shruti Box is a small hand-pumped wooden instrument that provides a rich drone background as support to singing or playing almost any instrument.

The use of the Shruti Box has widened with the cross-cultural influences of world music and new age music, providing a drone for many other instruments not typically associated with it.

While normally it has been associated with Indian Music, the Shruti box is enjoying a renaissance in the West amongst traditional and contemporary musicians who are using it for a range of different styles.

We have captured an organic wooden shruti at 96kHz using tube mics and preamps.


Features :

  • A tube recording of hand crafted wooden Shruti box from India.
  • Captures the full range of the Instrument.
  • System of bellows.
  • Special designed Audio FX Rack to enhance the organic sound.
