Thus the gate will open only when the low freq track is low amplitude and the high freq track is high amplitude.īasically you want to keep the gate closed when the high freq energy is the distortion and open it when the high freq energy is real. If the high frequency energy due to the distortion exceeds the level of the desired high frequencies, then you need the more advanced gate threshold.Ī bit more advanced method adds a compressor with a side chain input and use the low pass track to "duck" the high pass track before the gate. Set the gate threshold so that it stays closed most of the time but opens only when there is actual high frequency stuff you want i.e. Take this high pass filtered track and pass it through a gate.

Take the second track and high pass filter it by setting the EQ more or less complimentary to the first track. We will be putting the highs back in the next steps. Take the first track and apply low pass filtering or 6 dB per octave slope downward or whatever EQ sounds good in terms of minimizing the distortion without regard to the loss of highs.

Split the track into two identical tracks. If you are unsure if a product is compatible. You can also try this working in the frequency domain with most any DAW as follows: Many products have demo/trial periods available and system requirements information on the Manufacturers Website.
