Creative Gating, Part 3

In this last creative gating tutorial a gate is used to make the snare drum pop out in a room mic track, making the room mic cleaner sounding and more usable in the mix. I hope you’ve enjoyed the series. Be sure to add a comment with any questions.

Once again, a special thanks to Max Kunz of Jungle Maps for playing the drums.

    Just blasted through all your great tutorials… the last 5 really helped lock in some great sound ideas. Keep up the good work! By giving your time in this way you are really helping to launch more people into the new music paradigm shift where many thousands will be making music and recording with style…

    Thanks again Matt!

    Now we’re talkin’! I’ve really enjoyed your well made, clear, usable tips. I will be back, keep it up! PS- Web tutorials like these have been an additional revenue stream for my studio and I am really impressed with your work here. May I ask which screen recording software you’re using here? Thanks

    Thanks Randall! I use ScreenFlow and iShowU… depending on which doesn’t crash my computer that day :)
