G8 is a high-quality noise gate with many tricks up its sleeve. It is both a professional dynamics workstation and an experimental amplitude effect. Use it for noise reduction, AM/granular synthesis, bouncing ball rhythm programming, tremolo, trajectory panning, transient shaping, and much, much more.

Features:

  • "Cycle" and "One-shot" gating modes give you the ability to use G8 as a stutter effect, AM/granular, or tremolo.
  • Customizable MIDI inputs and outputs allow you to trigger G8 from MIDI clips or to synchronize instruments to G8 for drum replacement or groove extraction. Combined with G8's alternative gating modes, you can create intricate rhythms, bouncing ball effects, or MIDI clips with granular trigger patterns. Synchronize two instances of G8 over MIDI for the ultimate customizable sidechain.
  • "Reject" Outputs allow you to hear the audio that gets blocked by the gate. Use this innovative feature to create amplitude-dependent effect chains.
  • "Flip mode" swaps the regular outputs with the Reject Outputs. Use G8 as a strange compressor, or remove grains from your audio.
  • Expert Mode contains an advanced routing, amplitude, and filtering matrix for each channel, as well as individual input monitors for up to 4 channels. Use this to clean up the analysis input with even more precision, or to create unpredictable gating polyrhythms.
  • Sidechain support (in select hosts, please see the compatibility list for more information).
  • Independent Analysis Gain and Output Gain controls eliminate the frustration of balancing your mix with your ideal analysis level.
  • RMS and Peak style metering selection ensures that you will always have the right tool for the job.
  • Lookahead control with accurate latency reporting to the host.
  • Wet/Dry control for parallel gating, compression, or expansion. The dry signal is latency-compensated to prevent any unwanted phase issues.
  • Variable Reduction controls the depth of the gating, from full silence to barely-there disturbances.
  • Hysteresis and Hold parameters to prevent "chatter" or unwanted dropouts.
  • Locking modes allow you to keep specific parameters frozen on preset change.
  • DRM Free. When you buy it, you own it. No serial numbers, dongles, or forced internet connections.
  • Steam Cloud Support means that if you use G8 Gate through Steam, all of your presets will be automatically backed up to the cloud and synced between your computers. Every purchase of G8 includes a Steam Key. If you are unfamiliar with Steam, please see Steam's homepage.

INTRO

G8 Dynamic Gate by Unfiltered Audio is a full-featured, yet user-friendly gate plugin that is versatile, sounds great, has negligible latency, and a low CPU hit. The interface is clean and efficient. In addition to excelling at usual noise gating (threshold, reduction, mix controls, AHR envelope, etc.), the G8 is also capable of tremolo chopping, bouncing ball and stutter FX, trajectory panning, transient shaping, granular synthesis, grain removal, etc.

FAVORITE FEATURES:

  • Inviting GUI.
  • Shallow learning curve.
  • Wet/Dry control for parallel gating, compression, expansion, etc.
  • Latency-compensation dry signal.
  • Low (if any) latency.
  • Configurable real-time display.
  • RMS and Peak style metering.
  • Easy mix balancing.
  • MIDI clip triggering.
  • Advanced routing and Customizable side-chaining.
  • Enthusiastic developer.
  • DRM Free. "When you buy it, you own it. No serial numbers, dongles, or forced internet connections" — Unfiltered Audio.
  • Fantastic price.

QUESTIONS?:

  • This is only version 1.0. What can we expect for future revisions and versions? ;-).

SUMMARY

The G8 inspires creativity and is very approachable. To quote another reviewer, "[The G8 is] the Ultimate Gate." I highly recommend this plugin to anyone working with digital audio. Tommy Zai gives the G8 Dynamic Gate two stuttering thumbs up. Thank you, Unfiltered Audio, for creating another fine audio plugin.

+1.

I can agree with all being said.

Great tool - Great price.

If you're looking for a gate (and who isn't) this is a nobrainer.
