Hi all. I want to use the Sonitus gate to take the attack off of a guitar. Well, any gate really, I just picked the Sonitus gate because the accessible effects document in CT mentioned it was accessible. I know the general idea for doing this, get the threshold right, and then play with the attack setting, and it will eventually fade the guitar in.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the gate to do anything. That is, it doesn't actually seem to change the sound in the slightest. I did try it as a send to a bus with the gate on, and with the Sonitus delay effect on it seemed to be making some sort of change, but then when I removed the delay, nothing. This happens whether I send it to the bus and solo the bus, with input monitoring on of course, or whether I insert it on the audio track in question.
It just doesn't seem like changing any of the values, and I've made pretty drastic changes to attack for instance, does anything to affect the sound whatsoever. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong here? I had this problem with their compressor when I had a friend over and we were messing around with stuff, it didn't seem to do anything either. But for now, I'll just take getting the gate to do something. It should produce the effect I want, I've heard it done on piano, if I can get it to do anything at all, that is.
BTW, I found out about this from The Art and Science of Sound DVDs. http://www.artandscienceofsound.comGood stuff, if you're looking for that sort of thing. Oh along similar lines, there's Killer Home Recording:
http://www.recordingreview.comThey're pdf files that cover the same sort of stuff, in a different way but also in a fair amount of detail. The two things are good companions to each other, IMO. The pdf files are accessible BTW, read in Adobe reader just fine for me.
