Gatey Watey is a lightweight but smart gate plugin. Unlike traditional Gates, the Gatey Watey allows you to choose which frequencies will be attenuated when the level drops below the threshold, creating a much more natural sounding Gate. It works great for getting rid of drum bleed without cutting the drums, or reducing the noise of electric guitars without cutting the sustain. Basically, this is how all Gates are supposed to work, but for some reason, they don't.

• Frequency selective gating
• Look forward
• Simple Interface
• No Learning Curve

A gate plugin?

Let's be honest here for a minute. It's really hard to get excited about a gate plugin. Part of the reason I have a hard time getting excited about Gates is because they all seem to do the same thing, with some slight differences between the different Gates.

But that's why we created Gatey Watey. It starts from the idea that gates, even as a utility, can be much better.

What sets Gatey Watey apart from the Zillion Gates out there? Gatey Watey has a feature that we believe every Gate should have; selective frequency attenuation.

What this means is that you can tell Gatey Watey to only attenuate the high frequencies (or the low frequencies, if you're into that sort of thing) when the input drops below the threshold.

This ends up being super powerful when it comes to drums, electric guitars, or pretty much anything that requires a gate.

For example, if you want to cut the Hi-Hat bleed from a snare without killing the rim and harmonica sound, Gatey Watey is your man.

Do you want your distorted guitars to sound without your neighbor's collection of fluorescent light blaring from your pickups? Gatey Watey to the rescue.

Even in normal gating situations, Gaty Watey stands out. You just say what should be rejected and how much should be rejected.

Simple to use. We've packaged Gatey Watey in a way that makes it extremely simple to use. He does his job and does it well.

Anyone of any skill level will be able to open Gatey Watey for the first time and immediately see what's going on.
