Renegate is a noise gate plug-in from Auburn Sounds, the French developer behind Panagement and Graillon. Gates are usually fiddly, so Renegate takes a different approach: it is a full-band gate built on a psychoacoustic model with program-dependent hysteresis, designed to open and close smoothly with very little setup. A built-in sequencer can chop audio rhythmically, making it useful both as a clean-up tool for drums, guitars and vocals and as an effect in Mac DAWs.

Key Features

  • Full-band gating with program-dependent hysteresis for natural results
  • Simple, fast controls designed to need very little tweaking
  • Built-in sequencer for rhythmic gating effects, included in the free edition
  • Smooth, natural sound based on a multi-band psychoacoustic model
  • Available as AU, VST3, AAX and CLAP plug-ins for Mac hosts

How to Download

  1. Check that your DAW supports AU, VST3, AAX or CLAP plug-ins.
  2. Get the free or full edition from the developer: Download from the official site
  3. Install the plug-in, rescan plug-ins in your DAW and insert Renegate on a drum, guitar or vocal track.

System Requirements

Current Renegate releases require macOS 10.15 or later and a compatible plug-in host, and they run on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. The plug-in itself is light on system resources compared with most modern effects.

FAQs

Is there a free version of Renegate?

Yes. The Free Edition is a fully working gate and, since version 1.4, includes the sequencer. The Full edition, priced by the developer at $29 at launch, adds the remaining features such as the expander section and MIDI control.

What is Renegate mainly used for?

Cleaning up recordings — tightening drum tracks, removing bleed and silence between phrases — and, with its sequencer, creating rhythmic gated effects on pads, guitars and synths.
