Garageband Noise Gate won't click

Howdy naridox,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

From your post I understand that you're trying to enable the noise gate option in GarageBand. Make sure you're following these directions:

To reduce noise in a silent passage:

1. Select the desired track.
2. Click the headphone icon to solo the track.
3. Open the Track Info window.
4. Expand the window so you can see "details".
5. Click the Gate checkbox.
6. Start playing the song.
7. Adjust the Gate slider so that noise disappears from silent passages but the instrument still plays normally elsewhere.

Take care.

Hi naridox,

I'm sorry to see that the previous steps didn't help. Due to the nature of your question you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

Have a good one.

The two Noise Gate controls in the Smart Controls Inspector (On/Off and Threshold slider) are linked to the Noise Gate Plugin. If you don't have the Noise Gate Pluin loaded, then they are grayed out.

Click on a Plugin Slot and select it from the Plugin Menu (inside the Dynamics Folder). Once the Plugin is loaded, the two controls will light up.

When you click on the blue Plugin button, it opens the Plugin Window. Now you can see the effect of the two controls.

Hope that helps
