Rename Existing Layout dialog
Attack Time (ms)
The value in this field is the interval of time after the volume reaches the Open Level for the gate to
fully open. Opening the gate gradually produces a fade-in effect instead of an instant on-off sound.
Hold Time (ms)
The value in this field is the minimum time for the gate to stay open. Hold Time is useful when
you've set high open and close levels—for example, when your source signal is very loud. Noise
gates set this way tend to react to repeated percussive passages (such as drum rolls) by repeatedly
opening and closing; this can sound unpleasant. By setting a hold time, you can ensure that the gate
stays open long enough during percussive passages.
Look Ahead (ms)
The value in this field causes the gate to open slightly before the sound reaches the Open Level so
you don’t lose the sound’s attack.
Release Time (ms)
The value in this field is the interval of time after the volume reaches the Close Level before the
gate actually closes. This lets the tail end of sounds pass through without being clipped.
