Timeless Analog Quality for the Digital Age
No matter your recording needs, a solid gate is integral to a great mix. Fortunately, Solid State Logic has you covered. The X-Gate Native plug-in masterfully blends hardware design with digital convenience, impressing Sweetwater’s studio pros with its ability capture the classic analog qualities of hardware gate tools. Dynamic and responsive visual feedback include a rolling waveform graph, and tricolor “traffic light” cues clearly indicate the open/closed/hold state of each channel at any given moment. An interactive filter graph lets you easily visualize highpass and lowpass filter implementation with the sidechain signal. Comprehensive lookahead, threshold, and range controls — alongside attack, release, and hold time parameters — allow for extensive sound sculpting to refine your output. Expander and ducking modes add even greater degrees of sonic shaping, with customizable hysteresis behaviors letting you perfect your sound, all from one convenient plug-in.
