paragraph: While other gate plugins are stuck in the dark ages, Big Beautiful Door catapults gating into the future with cutting-edge innovation. This isn’t just a gate plugin—it’s a creative paradigm shift.,
paragraph: Tweak not only volume but also tonal balance above and below the threshold with stunning precision and fluidity. From surgical noise gating to intelligent automated EQ; from seamless drum de-bleeding to mind-blowing frequency shaping; Big Beautiful Door doesn’t just gate—it unleashes boundless creative potential. The future of gating is here, and it’s yours for the
taking.,
heading: Presets,
paragraph: Big Beautiful Door 2 comes equipped with its own preset menu. To save a preset, just hit the
‘Save’ icon next to the preset menu, type the name of the preset and hit enter. If you enter a
name of an existing preset, the old preset will be overwritten.,
paragraph: Presets can be organized into sub menus by sorting them into folders in your finder/explorer
window. Note that the preset menu only supports one layer of sub folders, so if you put presets
inside a folder that is inside a folder, the preset scanner will not find them.
,
paragraph: Presets are shareable across formats, computers and operating systems. This means that if you
save a preset in your DAW in OSX, you can send that preset file to a friend who uses a different
DAW on Windows and it will work exactly the same.

heading: The Controls,
list: Threshold – This controls the level at which your gate opens and closes., Input Display – This graph shows the input level history, and also the state of the envelope., Open Gain – Controls the volume of your transients., Open Enable – This lets you turn on/off your transients altogether, EQ – This 4 band Equalizer equalizes only the transient portion of your audio signal., Sustain Gain – Controls the volume of your sustain. , Sustain Enable – This lets you turn on/off your sustain altogether., Sustain EQ Section – This EQ has the same settings as the Transient EQ., Attack – This sets how quickly the envelope will open when the sidechain level rises above the threshold., Release – This sets how quickly the envelope will decay after the sidechain drops below the threshold., Hold – After the envelope opens, it will hold there for as long as this knob is set., Ratio – After the sidechain drops below the threshold, the filter will drop to the “Closed” settings. Adjusting the ratio will give it sort of a soft threshold, so that it will gradually adjust from open to closed. When set to infinity, it will be a hard switch. When set to a lower ratio, the switch will be more gradual., Lookahead – This is like a time machine that looks into the future. It lets your gate open before the level crosses the threshold, so that by the time your signal is loud, your gate is already open., Hysteresis – After the sidechain rises above the threshold, the sidechain must drop below the threshold plus the hysteresis in order to close., Sidechain – The sidechain section determines what audio will be used to send to the threshold detector
