Why and How to use a Noise Gate in REAPER

[@startingoverbygrace]

Although this series was posted three years ago, is such a tremendous help. I love it when I find gems like these on YT. The fact the REAPER's plugins do not have any fancy GUI to distract you visually, I find it to be helpful in how it focuses on the mathematical implication to achieve the sound you desire. Rather than see it, you are forced to listen to how each feature of the plugin works.

This is the best explanation of a noise gate and its settings I've seen from everything I've found. Thank you

[@ryanreach3710]

The tutorial we've all been gating for!

[@Oddbrother]

I laughed at this pun a lot more than I needed to.

[@Crunkles1119]

Know that your pun still brings joy

[@justawful8404]

Kenny just wanna say how useful these videos are. thanks for all your work

[@JesusPiano]

These series of "how & why" are definitely the most useful tuts from all the millons you have 😀👌

[@elvisrios756]

I could not have grasped it without the caveman example LOL. Thx for the tutorial master

[@joeheukerott9186]

Thanks again! These recent videos have been great. I never really knew just how and why to use a gate before.

[@ozlodger]

Uh-oh - after watching this, I just realised I've been using gates all wrong. Thanks once again, Kenny for another really helpful video.

[@elmundodemiguel2]

Thanks for all your tutorials man, really helpful and ez to understand!

[@gokuturkey]

I love how you use animations as well. Thanks Kenny!

[@MahmoudNader]

Kenny is the best

YES~! ReaGate RAWKS - Discovered it in the past year or two & that's how I use it - Isolating kick & snare in a live drumkit setting. Necessary when you wanna sidechain Kick to Bass. Also good for isolating Vox & getting rid of headphone bleed-through in your mic track. ReaGate also works like a De-Esser, too~! Actually maybe even a little better.

[@tubbers20]

Great video. Drummer Steven Wolf explained this about Phil Collins using it on drums in 'In The Air Tonight.'

[@REAPERMania]

Cool! I used to work with Steve Wolf all the time. Awesome guy. Awesome drummer!!!

[@tubbers20]

@@REAPERMania He is approachable and we were in touch for a while mainly concerning his recording techniques with Drumhead magazine. Great stuff to learn. Your videos are also great for newbies like me. 🙂

[@bigbob4205]

Well done brutha Kenny G!💯

[@audiosounddoctor5834]

I am surprised how effective are Reaper plugins...nice!

[@rokitrik6783]

Great depth on this tutorial -- good and valuable information. Please talk to the RMS size setting as well. How and why is it used? Does it help in creating recordings that meet required RMS specifications?

[@agyinanthony5456]

Kenny I really like all your videos.You have made some of us love reaper so much. Pls can you use reagate on vocals to remove background noise

[@Ihadtosettleforthis]

Maybe check out this other video Kenny made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWLTma2KbNWroc0 It only really works if your background noise is fairly constant, like an electrical hum, but you could see if it works for you?

[@agyinanthony5456]

Thanks so much Kenny

[@ronswary]

Hi , new to DAW , recording and mixing by few months but a very fast learner. Going to be going thru a lot of footage and applying techniques from your channel . I’ve got a lot of basics down more or less but long road ahead

[@mikeparker5008]

Another great one, Kenny! Thanks.

[@abdulmutaal9849]

Hey i am new to music production. My question is that Can noise gating be also used in a studio setup where we donot have proper sound proofing? I know somethings like Izotope rx noise reduction tools for voice and guitar etc. but can this gating plugin be used?

[@PocketSunlight]

Brilliant as ever, Kenny. Would you mind saying what your set up is to record your youtube videos? Do you use obs or something else?? Cheers

[@REAPERMania]

Screenflow

[@pvalenti]

It's a Mac software.

[@PocketSunlight]

@@REAPERMania cheers 👍

[@PocketSunlight]

@@pvalenti cheers 👍

[@electricwhiterabbit]

ReaGate is one of the best gates in any gate software.

[@xoxxw]

Thanks. For the Tutorial. However. I would have liked. To hear more. About how Hysteresis. Works. As you said. "Depending on the setting". My head wants to know now. On WHAT. Setting? Thank you.

[@dl719]

Is this what I should use to remove noise from my guitar amp and pedal sims when not playing?

[@MACLADILLY]

Thanks for the video. Hoping to use the Gate effect to seperate a recording where the musician could only play the bouzouki and sing at the same time.

[@IDDQDSound]

Hi Kenny! Do you know the mic used on this snare? Sounds awesome and slappy. Ribbon?

[@christopherharv]

I still don't quite understand the "hysteresis" feature , but I can hear it

[@JonHarris77]

Kenny, why such a long hold/release on the kick? You can clearly hear the other drum hits that happen right after the kick with those settings.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks Kenny.

[@oksanakim1919]

Really helpful!!! Thank you!

[@lmusik2417]

Thanks!🙏🏼

[@BobErnstGuitar]

[@rainmusic3745]

Keep on watching kennys video because of the intro song. Can you share the song kenny?

[@REAPERMania]

I share it at the beginning of every video. :)

[@TorgnyKasse]

I like it too,

[@ezequielwalter2991]

Excellent!!

[@andresgabana]

Thanks. always a good video.

[@l.l.3830]

can someone tell me why i do not have a track control panel in reaper? seems like my settings are on default but its simply not there

[@spyoutube1467]

How do you set a click sound before it starts to record?

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

right click Metronome button - Count-in before recording

[@StudioBenyMusic]

The Best !

[@RoohDhamtari]

add why and how to use limiter in this series! thanks.

[@Pyramidalist]

On the right side is a slider named "noise" - you dont use it ... whats function has it?

[@deskypoo]

Excellent as ever.

[@jackm4124]

10/10 content.

[@electroniccaveman3493]

Since I've known Kenny, I've been able to delete the manual for Reaper.😊

[@zakariachahboun]

Thank you man

[@JeserNoob]

kenny is God

[@shanu6478]

🔥🔥

[@uncleted3961]

Why does Kenny continue to mispronounce the names of all the Reaper plugins?

[@youshu683]

OMG, I love you!

[@johnkim3257]

sometimes I wonder if You have god like physic powers and able to sense my needs right when I need thenm., or if god is real and he hears my prayers, and just forwards the prayer into your ears repeatedly while you are sleeping, Cuz sometimes I begin searching or a specific kind of idea for my brainstorming block, then u give me answers., this definiely happened with the finding tempo after recording video u made, the vital and sitala introduction, and the programing a ttrack freestyle not quantized video too., its bizzare

[@judasvigilante]

Great video Kenny. Everything I needed to know and more. Cheers.
