Gating again

Hey boyz and girls, :drinking:
I still can't get gated sorted how I want it. What I mean is that the only way I can get it working effectively is use the Logic gates which can only sidechain to audio tracks. This means that I have to bounce the pattern that want each time before I can hear it which gets very tedious. I know how to use the EVOC for this but I'd have to fork out £200 odd for that!

In the last post about this people recommended scuzzphut which from what I've heard is exactly what I'm looking for as you can edit the gating pattern in real time. But I can'y get it to work, it never extracts properly from the .zip despite downloading it from two different sites.

Does anyone have the .dll file of one that already works? Or otherwise another suggestion of a gate that will do this?

I've also downloaded some random gating effects to see what they do but haven't found anything worthwhile yet. :no:

All help appreciated! :peace:
 
i can lob ya the dll :)

(and its legally free so there's no straying into warez territory with this discussion)
 
erm

just had a check, the dll is 4.4 meg, too big to attach here, too big for email really, how would you like to receive it?

your options are basically soulseek, aim, or me putting it on my server for you to download via http :)
 
Thanks for the offer Soliptic, but actually I just sent to a different downloads site and tried again and this time it worked!! Problem solved. Still have to work out how to use it though...

Actually you can sidechain the Logic gates from any of the busses too - which means you can trigger the gates from any audio source within Logic.

Try setting up an ES1 [or any other synth] with a single osc sound [sine wave is good] with max sustain and fast attack/release and send it down buss 16 and then setting the gate sidechain to buss 16. Don't forget to route the buss channel to "no output" and make sure the fader is up.

Works a treat.

Yip this is exactly how i do it and it has to be said it really does worka treat.

Far more precise than any 3rd party gate plug that ive ever used.
 
Ott and IMAK, thanks a lot - this is a great idea that I'd never thought of before. I'll have to try it as soon as I get home!

Meanwhile scuzzphut is nice, though more limited than I thought it would be. Same version since '93 or seomthing like that - Ott you should kic you mate up the butt to improved it with scuzzphut7.

Cheers.

Am I stupid but I cant find how to side chain to a buss. I only have the audio traks come up. Is this only on the Mac version or somthing. please help.

Hi Psyfi - here we go. i do this on a PC with Platinum 5.5

1. setup the ES1 as an instrument - this will be your gate trigger (i tend to use the default sound played fairly high up the scale as noise gates seem to respond better to the higher freq)

2. instead of sending the signal to your logic output send it to a bus (click n hold for a dropdown menu to appear) or set this to 'no output' and use one of your 'sends' to send the signal to the bus of your choice.

3. set the bus to 'no output'

4. put a noise gate on the channel strip of the synth that you wanna gate & set the sidechain to the bus you havve sent the trigger signal too

5. you can monitor the trigger pattern you are writing by activating the monitor side chain button on the noise gate.

Good luck n happy gating :)

imak.

i am at work at the moment and i am doing this from memory (you know what its like, you can do these things wthout thinking when yer kits in front of you)

if you have any probs let us know & i'll check this thread again when im at home.

:peace:
 
I have writtien a short gating pattern for the ES1 and a single not Pad for the ES2
But I cant see how to side chain the gate to the buss please look at screen shot.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for help have a good day at work.
 
hey psyfi, back from work now phew!! *and relax* - thanx for the screenshot, ive just double checked mine and in addition to all the audio tracks i have inputs 1-12 & all the buss's available. weird that yours does not

what version of logic you running?

i have run about 3 diff versions over the last couple of years, they have all been 5.something & they have all had this feature.

whooopsie, that was me posting as jamez_23- forgot to log me homey out before jumping on.

imak
 
Thats version 4.x cos the instrument insert slots are at the top of the Inst channel.

You need to upgrade.

:D
 
Thanks IMAK
I will let you know if that helps and thankyou for the help :D :D :D


Just a thought it wouldn't be a hardware issue would it as my sound card is a bulk standard creative 4.1 16 bit piss poor £30.00 at dixons jobby.

no this is mos def your software dude, all of the routing capabilities (with the exception of the number of outputs you have available) are internal so no worries there.

anywhoo - check yer mail again
 
Hello everyone, all things are running lovely now.
Just a thorght though.
If you set up the ES1 with the fader all the way to sub bass with sub bass osc set to ext and set the side chain to the bus you were using then you wouldn't need the gater at all and you would also have control over the enverlope shape and filter plus use up less CPU.
I have tride it just a second ago chopping up Delay Lama and works a treat.
:)
 
nice to see you got things up n running down there, any configuration you use is cool as all of the Logic plugs use bugger all cpu power anywhoo.

enjoy ;)
