If you find this cuts off the microphone even while you are speaking directly into the microphone try setting the Thresh to -50.0dB. You may have to experiment with the Thresh to get the Noise Gate to work with different vocalists.

Ramp/Speed


A pass filter like the Noise Gate is described by its cut-off point and slope. The cut-off point is the frequency where high or low-frequencies will be removed. The slope, given in decibels per octave, describes a ratio of how the filter attenuates frequencies past the cut-off point (eg. 12 dB per octave).
