Wire Grind has introduced a new audio gating and envelope-shaping effect plugin. Unagated features real-time click suppression, transient and envelope shaping, sidechain processing, and more.

Gates can produce clicking sounds if they open or close too quickly. This problem is addressed by the Suppress Clicking button. The underlying algorithm operates in real-time, and Wire Grind says it’s very effective at eliminating clicks.

The parameters Delay Attack and Force Release alter the timings of the attack and release. The result changes volume envelopes, and it’s capable of adjusting transient characteristics such as punchiness. The parameters Hold Closed and Skip Beats work by keeping the gate closed at times when it would otherwise open. When used with the trance gating technique, the result is an alteration in rhythmic texture.

Unagated is available in VST3 format for Windows, on sale for the intro price of $30 USD / 28 EUR for a limited time (regular $69 USD / 63 EUR).
