DeJunk

by Leit Audio

Gate that tells playing from scrapes and knocks

VST3AURuns on Win · Mac · Linux

Gate that judges whether the signal is playing or junk, not just how loud it is. Built for distorted guitar, also fine on clean guitar and bass. One CLEAN control sets how strict it is.

About DeJunk

DeJunk decides whether a sound looks like playing before it opens, so a loud pick scrape or knock between phrases stays shut out. The threshold doesn't have to sit high enough to cut into quieter notes, which is the usual trade-off with a level-only gate.

It looks ahead before audio reaches the output, so the gate is already open when a phrase starts and the first pick attack survives. Turning CLEAN up refuses more between phrases; backing it off gives softer playing more room. Beyond electric guitar and bass, it's meant for acoustic guitar and other stringed instruments, and the download needs only a free account with no in-plugin activation.
