Introducing Gate Classic and Gate Drums. You can now access nearly infinite gating options without ever having to leave your Virtual Mix Rack workflow! Gate Classic is a traditional, straightforward gate that is highly efficient in removing background noise from guitars, vocals, and other acoustically-recorded source material. Gate Drums is a highly-sophisticated drum application. It combines a gate based on transient detection with smart dynamic filtering so you can achieve far cleaner drum tracks than with a conventional gate.
