You can use it whenever you like to reduce those unwanted background noises from your podcast. To remedy this, we've placed a noise gate in your backpack. We can’t help recording in noisy environments - in crowded public spaces, or near ocean waves, wind, air-conditioners, traffic etc. Whatever the brand, a downward expander is what you want.How to use the noise gate in Backpack Studio to make your podcast sound better.īackpack Studio users are always on the go. I'd say $50 is fair for either the 202 or 1000.īefore DAWs, it was an indispensable piece of gear for me I still use it, mostly in my guitar rack.Įven though Behringer was the pariah of music gear, I didn't give a phluck, it worked for me. The Intellagate XR 2000 has more controls, including frequency, etc., which you might want if you only wanted to, say, cut out the cymbals.Īn SNR-1000 just sold on Reverb for $29.00 + shipping.īut there are the people trying to get stupid prices too (like around $200). Their controls are: Threshold, Attack, Release, and Ratio. I think the old 202 feels better built (the knobs feel more robust).

They are similar but the 202 has two settings for ratio via a button and the 1000 has a variable knob. If you want simple, which I would want for live, I would say the 202 or 1000. They are cheap used on the various selling sights.įor Behringer, there is the Denoiser SNR 202, SNR 1000, SNR 2000 and the much more versatile Intellagate XR-2000 (I might have forgotten others). There are various versions and they all work well, depending on your needs/desires. I have had, and still use, a Behringer Denoiser since the ADAT days. Very basically basically it can slope off instead of being abrupt.

Click to expand.A gate and a downward expander are similar but the gate has a high ratio and is more abrupt you can chop off the end of vocals/instruments, etc.Ī downward expander is better for your use, IMO, as it has a has a lower ratio and is more "gentle", so to speak, depending on settings.
