Windows-G just dropped E-NoiseGate600, a noise gate plugin built for REAPER that handles everything from cleaning up recordings to ducking vocals. The thing runs on JSFX and can do rhythmic gating plus gated reverb effects with exponential attack and release curves that keep everything smooth. It works with both main input and sidechain input modes, and there's lookahead up to 20 milliseconds to keep your transients intact.
The plugin packs high-pass and low-pass filters you can tweak to stop random frequencies from triggering the gate, and it switches between Peak mode for drums and RMS mode for sustained sounds. You get threshold, hysteresis, hold, and range controls for dialing in exactly how the gate behaves, plus a GUI with meters for detection levels and gain reduction. The developer is asking ten bucks for it, and you can run it in other DAWs through the open-source YSFX plugin wrapper.
