Once the software is running, import the audio file that you want to edit.Ĭlick on Effects from the menu tab. A noise gate can be an electronic device that you connect to your recording equipment, a standalone software or even a software add-on/plugin. Concurrently, it also lessens the sound signal that is below the level of the threshold set.

These sounds usually are louder than the signal threshold set. Just like a literal gate, it acts as a barrier that lets in some sounds. A Noise Gate is an audio processor that controls the intensity of some sound signals in your recording.
