Heavy Guitar Tone in Reason 6 - Part 2

Continuing from my last tutorial, showing how to enhance guitar patches that happen to have obscene amounts of gain to have a "noise gate" using Reason's Thor Polysonic Synthesizer. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for watching!

@geffel I was having the same issue, as you saw in the tutorial. You can use the gate on the channel strip, then if you would like to have it fully quiet, it is possible to add an additional mix channel, and route the out from the eq to the input on the new mix channel, then direct out of the mix channel to the "from devices" on the original. Then set the new gate and your good to go.

how is this any different from turning on the gate on the dynamics sections of the ssl mixer? awesome videos! keep it up!

@geffel and er...of course it's magically working all of a sudden. Don't know what I did different...

Sooo many problems with ghettign this to work - doesn't want to work with live guitar - nothign comes through...and then to get the prerecorded guitar to play after adding the gate I have to detach and reattach a cable. Very odd.

The sound is getting there though. I'm using my Yamaha SG700 as that has some fairly chunky stock pickups. Al my guitars have stock pickups, which are usually fine, but I want to get an approximation of Djent, and the gate is clearly a key component.
