Sonalksis SV-719 is an older one
Digital fish phones is even older free x86 floorfish

Has anyone tried the Unfiltered Audio G8?
does DMG do discounted deals?
No.

The thing about Unfiltered's G8 is that it can output the rejected audio to another channel, AFAIK it's the only one that can do that...

G8 (Unfiltered Audio)

G8 is gr8. Was using Gatey Watey, but G8 is more flexible and has some unique features for more creative uses like output reject, midi in/out, delay, and other weird sound-designish stuff if you want to go there. I also vastly prefer the vector style GUI versus a faux hardware emulation aesthetic

The gates on the kemper and in my DAW for real drums BSA Silencer. Best gate for drums.

Good to know! Someone else seemed to suggest there are other Unfiltered products can do everything G8 does.

SUNDER (Reason RE) can also do that.. and it`s made by Unfiltered Audio as well.

Easy. Auburn sounds Renegate. The absolute smoothest gate I’ve ever used. I used the free version for years. My recommendation is to check that one before paying for a gate.

To be honest my favorite gate for years is the one in Voxengo Voxformer. I have plenty of others that are very good, configurable, plenty to tweak etc. But VoxFormer excels at finding the perfect sweet spot IMO.

DMG Expurgate. Using it as noisegate for my hardware. And i used it creatively a few times.

That was me who said that, but I'd suggest looking into it yourself as it's likely there are things I missed, as I was looking for something to do everything I wanted and saw that Triad had all of the main features as G8 and sounded the same when compared. But for example, someone said you can output the rejected audio to another channel with G8, but with Triad I think you can only choose to output one or the other, not both to separate channels.

So I should clarify that my post was meant more to say that someone with Triad might already have all they need since they're getting nearly all of the features there. Otherwise I think it's worth it to look into both and seeing what works for you.

they thought traid and byome did but byome definitely does not have the scope of g8

Yeah I dunno about that, maybe, cant say I ever tried to replicate G8's functionality with byome
and whatnot. The RE doesn't count imo as they require Reason, besides it's not really a gate... :shrug:

https://www.effectgrid.com/guide is the one for divvying up the signal into amplitude and frequency bands - can then add vst's to all of those bands separately

Kilohearts gate works great. I use that most of the time. If I want to shape the release I’ll use Cableguys VolumeShaper.
