I see what you are saying. A common form of de-essing that I know of for example would be to sidechain a copy of the original signal through a comp and EQ it so that the frequencies that cause the sibilance are exagerated, that way the compressor only reduces the level of the signal when there is a prominent amount of sibilance. I've never done this before, as I'm sure that it would be tricky... in order to do it with the fewest artifacts as possible.

When you input a signal into a gate's key input it is that signal which triggers the gate to open or close not the program signal. One example is feeding a signal from the kick drum track to the key input gate on the bass track. Can you figure out where i'm going with this?

The intent is not to only have the bass play when the kick plays, but to slighly reduce the volume of the bass when the kick is played. That way you can have your bass nice and rocking, but still have your kick cut through the mix without causing a big volume spike when the kick hits.
Also works great with vocals and guitar. Guitar automatically comes up a bit during the breakdown, but when the vocal comes back in it will sit nicely on top. It's kind of like automixing.
I believe this is a new feature with the new VST protocol and also I believe in Sonar 7.
I don't think of "key" input being limited in any way to gates or expanders. Certainly any dynamics control devices use the term "key" input.Alain Benoit wrote:In the world of gates we use the term key or keying.

This is a big deal for Sonar7, and one that I'm wanting to try. It's set up for most of the native Sonar processing from what I understand.macrae11 wrote:I believe this is a new feature with the new VST protocol and also I believe in Sonar 7.

Just a single channel gate with a separate key in? Hmmmmm.... dunno... Maybe a single channel comp/lim/gate like that, but you'd probably be way out of your price range. Most software gates that I've used have that functionality, but I bet that's not what you're looking for...Christian LeBlanc wrote:Exhuming an old thread again!
I'm waiting on a $99 Boss slicer from L&M, but in the meantime, I'd like to be able to achieve the same effect using a noise gate with external key triggers. I asked Google for a list of noise gates with external key capabilities, but Google just shrugged at me. Anyone here have any suggestions of where I should look for such a device?

Certainly one of the finest.Alain Benoit wrote:I have what is or was at the time arguably the finest keyed gate ever made, the Drawmer DS21, for sale.
