How do i use a GATES to open and close effect?

What are the settings to make the Gate open and close?


How can i hook up multiple GATE in parallel so its opens and closes
the gate at different VOLUMES it would have different thesholds
volumes but would give that opening and closing effect i like?


example is to use multiple gates on a HI HAT so at volume#1 it will
open and close gate#1 if i hit the hi hat alittle louder it will turn off
gate#1 and gate#2 opens and closes so its on another track so its
sounds layered and stacked?
 
use eq to key gate
if your gate has a key input

sidechain


yawnnn....
 
4 inputs 4 gates

Im trying to use the opening and closeing effect on the gates
to act like overdubbing so when i hit the drums or hi hit at different
velocitys sensitivity volumes it will shut off on gate and turn on
another gate that has another open and closing effect so its
layered and stacked?

What brand do you own Walters? There are quite a few on the market in low to high price range. There is even an eight channel one. Found a four channel by Klark Teknik, a DN504PLUS ...cost=1320.00..whooa , that puppie oughta do good...If it is in fact the right thing. :confused:

Found an ALTOGATE 4-channel, didn't get the price on that pup.The write-up on it said that it gave *extremely* natural and transparent sounding, utilized parametric filtering, and was very useful for a wide variety of situations where silent noise gating is necessary. To use it, I would have to read the manual. :D
 
What do i put in the side chain ?

The side chain will make that opening and closing effect?


snare>>>>>>side chain>>>>>gates output>>>>>>track#1

hi hat>>>>>>side chain>>>>>gates output>>>>>>track#2
hi hat>>>>>>side chain>>>>>gates output>>>>>>track#3
hi hat>>>>>>side chain>>>>>gates output>>>>>>track#4
hi hat>>>>>>side chain>>>>>gates output>>>>>>track#5

different opening and closing for different VELOCITYS how i hit the
hi hat will turn off the gate and turn on another Gate set to another
track creating Layers and STacked?
 
Can a GATE create ISOLATION so it sound like a overdub

ex. if im recording acoustic drums with 12 mics

I put the GATE to ISOLATE the Crash cymbal
so when im hitting it sounds isolated and overdubbed

how do i do this?
 
Can it create Total Isolation so it doesn't pickup anything else
besides whats hooked up to that gate when it opens and closes


Im trying to set up the gate so it opens and closes to create
a overdub and its really isolated from everything else and doesn't
pick up anything put whats hooked up to the gate


Ride cymball>>>>>>gate>open and close>>>>track#1

so its sounds like its overdubed and isolated from all the other
drums


a gate will isolate unwanted sounds
 
Still the same old bullshit, eh skippy? Don't you ever get tired of this schtick? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
