Experience surgical-level noise gating with the Harrison Spectral Gate, an intelligent, frequency-dependent gate plug-in that learns the unique spectral fingerprint of your desired “Source” material and the unwanted “Spill” in your tracks. Whether you’re cleaning up drum overheads, isolating vocals, or sculpting razor-sharp loops, Spectral Gate delivers effortless control over bleed and noise, letting your mix breathe with clarity.
The Harrison Spectral Gate brings next-level precision to noise gating by learning the exact spectral fingerprint of what you want to keep (Source) and what you want to remove (Spill). Its real-time spectrum display instantly visualizes green and red curves that map your audio’s frequencies, so you know exactly what you’ve captured. Depth and Threshold controls let you dial in anything from gentle spill reduction to total removal, while Hold and Release settings shape the gate’s timing for natural, musical decay. The result is crystal-clear drum tracks with zero cymbal bleed, pristine vocals stripped of stage rumble, and faster cleanup workflows that free you from manual noise-riding and let you focus on creativity.
Whether you’re laying down drums, tracking live shows, crafting samples, or editing dialogue in post-production, Spectral Gate integrates seamlessly into every stage of your production process. In the studio, learn each instrument’s spectrum and gate out unwanted bleed as you record. In music production, import stems, isolate individual hits, and sculpt loops without compromising tone. During mixing, place it on overheads or room mics, visualize source versus spill curves, and even sidechain for creative, frequency-dependent ducking. With Harrison Spectral Gate, intelligent frequency-dependent gating transforms cluttered mixes into transparent, focused productions.
