specified point, letting the frequencies above that point pass through unchanged. This filter can be handy
when you want to reduce the "boominess" or "muddiness" of a vocal and improve the overall clarity.
Choose between 40 Hz, 80 Hz, and 160 Hz.
Power User Tip: When looking at frequency ranges in audio, it's important to know that the smaller the number,
the lower the frequency is. The 40 Hz and 80 Hz settings can be especially useful in reducing the "rumble" from
a nearby road or any background electrical noise or hum.
If you would like more granular control, please see
more on advanced High Pass Filter settings.

5.1.2 Gate

Noise gating is the process of removing unwanted sounds from your audio by cutting (or attenuating) all
signals below a set threshold. The gate will remain "open" as long as the signal is louder than the set
threshold. Noise gates were originally designed to help eliminate extraneous noise and unwanted arti-
facts from a recording, such as hiss, rumble, or transients from other instruments in the room. Since hiss
and noise are not as loud as the intended audio source (You!), a properly set gate will only allow the inten-
ded sound to pass through; the volume of everything else is lowered. Not only will this strip away
unwanted artifacts, it will also add definition and clarity to the desired sound.
Choose between Low, Moderate, and High. Low will provide the least amount of gating, High will provide
the most.
