Metric Halo SuperGate: The Ultimate Audio Gate for Precise Control

The Metric Halo SuperGate redefines what an audio gate can do, delivering the precision and reliability professionals demand. Unlike traditional gates that rely on basic parameters, SuperGate offers sample-accurate gain control, allowing you to isolate target sounds while leaving the natural character of your audio intact.

SuperGate uses a state-machine-based approach to apply attack, hold, and release gain curves as detailed, sample-by-sample instructions. This eliminates common artifacts like aliasing, smearing, and modulation, ensuring clean and distortion-free gating. The result is a gate that feels intuitive, sounds natural, and provides perfect repeatability across your sessions.

Whether you’re managing dynamic vocals, cleaning up noisy recordings, or enhancing rhythmic precision, SuperGate offers unmatched flexibility and precision for both gating and ducking applications.
