poltergate: Transient Design, Gate and De-Bleeding Plugin by Denise Audio Free Download

poltergate puts three jobs into one processor. The gate handles noise reduction and separation, and the de-bleeder works from the same threshold, so you can set both at once rather than adjusting them separately.

Denise Audio built its own de-bleeding algorithm for the plugin. It is controlled by three knobs and is designed to keep spill from cymbals or low-end rumble from toms out of the signal while keeping the punch and resonance of the drum.

The dynamics section combines limiting, clipping and transient shaping. You can exaggerate the attack or the body of a sound, and push into clipping for a more distinct character.

The built-in sidechain EQ graph lets you shape the detection signal in detail, so the gate reacts only to the frequencies you choose. Spike Control is a dedicated feature for detecting transients more easily.

Audition Mode lets you hear only the part of the signal that is being gated. Flip reverses the gate so you can hear what was left out of the signal. Presets are included as a starting point.
