my noise gate option is grayed out after garage band update

I have the same issue...

Same issue here - how can I use the noise gate?

This question was asked and answered before. You have to load the Noise Gate Plugin first

Please check the following link

Garageband Noise Gate won't click

Hope that helps

I get that from your original post which was very helpful, however I tried to load the noise gate plugin and there's nothing in the folder - where do I get the plugin?

Thanks

The Plugins listed in the Plugin Menus are propriatary Logic/GarageBand Plugins that are embedded in the app. You cannot see them in any folder. Maybe you are referring to the Plugin-Settings folder. Each Plugin has a folder (with the name of the Plugin) that stores the settings, like presets)

IN the Smart Controls window, click on one of the Plugin Slots that opens the Plugin Menu, and under the Dynamics subfolder, there should be the Noise Gate Plugin. Select it, and it loads, and activates the two controls above. Please note that only an Audio Track will list those two controls on the Inspector (on/off checkbox and Threshold slider), not the Software Instrument Track.

Hope that helps

Edgar, with out people like you who continue to offer good advise, even when old guys like me miss the first 'clue', there would be not enough bullets for my....

only kidding,

Thank you for your plug in answer, on behalf of all of us who don't dig deep enough.

Now, I'm off to look at some of those GB books I've seen at the http://DingDingMusic.com/Manuals/
