Spectral Gate

Spectral Gate by Harrison Consoles is a frequency-dependent noise gate that learns the spectral fingerprint of the audio you want to keep (Source) and the unwanted bleed or noise (Spill). A real-time spectrum display shows green Source and red Spill curves, so you can see exactly what’s being captured. Depth and Threshold controls let you go from gentle spill reduction to complete removal, while Hold and Release shape the gate’s timing for natural, musical decay. It’s ideal for cleaning up drum overheads and room mics, isolating vocals from stage rumble, sculpting loops, or editing dialogue. You can also sidechain it for creative frequency-dependent ducking. Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or post-production, Spectral Gate delivers surgical precision without manual noise-riding. It suits hobby producers and engineers working with FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic on Windows and macOS, and supports AAX, VST, VST3, and AU formats.
