In Need Of Assistance adding hysteresis to gate

[guyman]

Found this gate in the greatest hits a while back. It is a great gate, but I noticed when listening to the gated (or inverse gated signal) that it has blips, especially when the gate closes. Adjusting the controls can help, but the sound is quite noticeable, especially on material with varying dynamics. I believe some sort of smoothing, or hysteresis would solve this problem. Perhaps separate open/close thresholds, or cross-fading? I set the range of the gate to -120db so that it completely closes out sound that hasn't triggered it.

Anyone with experience with hysteresis or this gate in particular care to team up and see what we can come up with?

I can offer my compressor with a noise gate. Well, not exactly a gate but an expander for the low dB range. The idea is to make silent parts even more silent and let everything above a certain threshold pass unattenuated. I found this more natural soundng than a gate.

Thank you for responding Martin, but I couldn't get this thing to work whatsoever. No Audio would pass through it, and after tinkering around and getting it to pass thru, the signal was unaffected...

Sorry, my bad. One connection was missing. Fixed in the original post.
