An algorithm is presented which automatically sets the attack release threshold and hold parameters of a noise gate applied to drum recordings which contain bleed from secondary sources. The gain parameter which controls the amount of attenuation applied when the gate is closed is retained to allow the user to control the strength of the gate. The gate settings are found by minimising the artifacts introduced to the desirable component of the signal whilst ensuring that the level of bleed is reduced by a certain amount. The algorithm is tested on kick drum recordings which contain bleed from hi-hats snare drum cymbals and tom toms. 1. Introduction Dynamic audio effects apply a control gain to the input signal. The gain applied is a nonlinear function of the level of the input signal or a secondary signal . Dynamic effects are used to modify the amplitude envelope of a signal. They either compress or expand the dynamic range of a signal. A noise gate is an extreme expander. If the level of the signal entering the gate is below the gate threshold an attenuation is applied. If the level of the signal is above the .
