I am starting to use noise gates in my podcast interviews. I usually take a quiet section at the beginning of the interview, then do Amplitude Statistics to see where the noise levels are. Then I apply a noise gate using the dbs around the peak amplitude, and then I adjust as needed to make it sound a little better. The attack is set to 1ms, and the hold is set to 1ms. Release is 100ms. I will get random "popping" in the silent areas of the track, and I am assuming it is something like bumping the table, or a mouse click, or something. But it makes a significant pop sound. Are there better ways to apply the settings so you don't get these types of pops? Also the person talking sometimes you can here the noise gate click on and off in between words. How do you make that stop? (It is like the noise gate goes on, then off, then on, then off). Thanks for any help!
