Gatey Watey’s Easy-peasy Dynamic Range
Gating should be your go-to technique for dynamic maximization in the studio. Of course, that's easier said than done, which is why Boz Digital Labs devised Gatey Watey, an intuitive and handy gate plug-in with powerful results and a streamlined design. Gatey Watey is your new solution for bringing out head-turning dynamics, from the punch of drums to all the gravitas of vital guitars (without any of the noise). Gatey Watey offers several modes and parameters like highpass, lowpass, and standard gating, with wide-ranging options for frequency and decibel attenuation. Sweetwater studio pros are especially impressed with this plug-in's chatterless design: it’s a simple but hard-to-find feature that outperforms even high-end analog consoles with stutter-free gating.
Facile design
Like all Boz Digital plug-ins, Gatey Watey is here to save you time. Instead of hours of editing in clip gain tricks, you can use Gatey Watey for incredible results in a fraction of the time. Gatey Watey offers three core modes with simple descending vertical parameters that make sense regardless of skill level. Core modes are highpass, lowpass, and normal gate, and each mode includes a frequency gating slider with selections ranging from 20Hz to 12kHz that ensure compatibility with practically any instrument. Additional controls for gate attack, release, range, and timing mean that it’s easy to infuse gates with musicality that's a natural fit for your track. And with Gatey Watey’s indicator lights, you’re always able to quickly monitor whether signals are above or below gates at any given time.

Boz Digital Labs: a menu of intuitive plug-ins
Founded by Boz Millar, Boz Digital Labs began as a one-man passion project with a simple goal: to design purpose-built plug-ins that address musical problems as efficiently as possible. Boz Digital Labs plug-ins simplify musical outcomes that previously required stringing together numerous plug-ins to accomplish what are essentially baby steps. Each plug-in combines exceptional back-end engineering with a front-end experience that’s easy, intuitive, and seamless, regardless of your knowledge level or skill. The results? Faster workflows and more time to mix, master, or just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
