Metric Halo SuperGate v4 is a noise-gate plug-in designed to eliminate unwanted background noise from your audio recordings. Unlike traditional noise gates, SuperGate v4 offers a high degree of customization to achieve natural-sounding results.
With SuperGate v4, you can define precisely how the gate opens and closes around your desired audio. It visually shows you the noise reduction process and allows you to tailor the attack and release curves for a smooth and transparent effect. This makes SuperGate v4 ideal for cleaning up drum tracks, dialogue recordings, and any situation where you want to isolate a specific sound.
How SuperGate v4 Works
- SuperGate v4 lets you customize the gate attack and release gain curves precisely to the sound you are isolating, as you listen, while visually referencing our specialized WYSIWYG detector display.
- The gate curve you build is not applied as a set of dynamic expander parameters, but a programmed set of sample-by-sample instructions defining the gain structure and duration of the Attack-Hold-Release gate envelope itself. When the trigger point is reached during playback, this set of instructions modifies the samples describing the target sound, thereby applying the gate.
- The Open and Close gate curves are applied with perfect repeatability as if they were copy/pasted onto the audio stream at the trigger point (which is in fact exactly the case), and all the minute variations of each audio event which provide feel and personality can come through the gate completely untouched.
Key Features
- State machine Gate Open and Gate Close operations eliminate modulation between gate gain stages and the source audio
- Threshold (gate open) and Hysteresis (gate close) detector level controls
- Detector Lookahead aids detection of slower transient events
- Independent Gate Attack Time (up to 1000 ms) and Attack Curve shape controls
- Gate Hold up to 2 seconds before Gate Release engages
- Independent Gate Release Time (up to 4000 ms) and Release Curve shape controls
- Side-chain Detector Filter with six fully tunable filter curves
- External Detector Source input routable from any MIOConsole hardware input or bus
- Listen Source selections monitor the Gated signal, Gate Closed (program the gate is rejecting) or the side-chain post-filter feed to the detector
- Attenuation control determines the gain reduction applied to audio rejected by the gate (from 0 to -144 dB)
- Duck mode: reverses the gate action, so the gate closes to attenuate audio when the detector is above the threshold, and opens when it's below threshold
- Detector EQ with SpectraFoo Analyzer
- Detailed Detector and GR history metering
- Adjustable UI size, disclosable graphs
- Many presets included
- MH Preset Manager: Provides cross-platform presets
