This is probably a very minor problem compared to everything else going on with C13 right now but I am having a minor issue and was wondering if anybody has dealt with this and found a solution.
In short, the stock Gate plugin will only allow the Threshold value to be set at -60. You can type in -76 and it will accept it but it immediately changes back to -60 when you hit the enter key.
I am grouping some tracks together using an analog mixer. It appears to have noisefloor around-76 when nothing is going through it, so I was wanting to use the stock Gate plugin to mute the channel whenever the signal was below -76 just to get rid of the noise when nothing should be coming from that track.
From what I can tell, the limit is -60 on the Gate plugin and that is causing issues for me at the end of things where I have reverb tails, delays, etc that I want to be able to hear between -60 and -76.
I can just bounce the track and manually mute it where I know there isn’t anything there but doing multiple takes this is becoming cumbersome and doing a manual fade isn’t very precise on multiple takes where something might end just a bit different.
This appears by design so isn’t a “bug” but it is a bit irritating to have a superficial limitation on something like this.
If anybody has any suggested ways to get the Gate plugin to work in this situation I’d appreciate hearing them.
