Cleaning up Logic & VST audio
after messing with both vst & Logic's excellent noise gates... well you know the rest... solo the audio track, setup a gate on it and get it going just right... with the track solo'd you get no pc stress competing at all with the gate, and the benefit of being able to hear the gate better at work to set and audition the take.... ok after setting up and audition, record with the gate in place so the gating is added to the out file.. then replace the file with the new gated file and hey presto super-quiet gated audio track with no pc stress at all ready for a mix.
if you think about it, the gate could com in useful to trim up files of loops played in series with a pause.. the gate would give a total 0 record when no loop/sample was playing, then a batch processor can more easily find the silence to snip up the samples... this works if you are recording in for some reason from an analog source. In that scenario, even if the source CD or dat has a quiet gap, the input is still up and sending out a noise threshold to the input which is recorded on the file... adding a gate to the file with fast attack and release and low threshold can totally create silence in the gaps instead. just record the length of loops with gaps as a file... process it thru the gate, then batch the resulting file.
