Use the Threshold knob (ranging from 0 to 100) to dene the minimum singing
level you need to reach in order for the Gate to open and let your voice sound.
The factory default setting is very sensitive to allow a wide range of singing levels
but it may also allow more nearby instrumental sounds through when you are not
singing. In this case, further adjustment from there and upward may be needed.
The factory setting is gentle enough that if your voice strays below the threshold,
it is not cut o completely. If you are in a feedback-prone environment (loud moni-
tors plus EQ and Compress on) you can increase this to reduce more. A setting of
‘0’ oers no gain reduction on your lead voice at all.
The Attack control sets how fast the Gate enters, and the Release control how fast
it exits after the signal has exceeded the threshold or has fallen below. Experiment
with them to see how eective the Gate may be in a particular situation.
