uses :

Voice Production : Use sideGATE as a lookahead noise-gate when
for example, you have a presenter speaking against background noise.
Normal gating would result in a bump in background noise as the
presenter speaks and the gate opens, but with sideGATE's lookahead
feature, the background noise can be gently faded in before the
presenter speaks creating a smoother, less objectionable sound.

Music Production : When the sidechain is higher than the
threshhold, the channel is audible, when lower, gated - just the sort
of functionality needed to gate a reverb according to the level of a
snare drum, a synth according to a hi-hat, a bass according to a bass
drum and so on.

sideGATE can also be used to alter the attack of a sound (soften
a solo electric guitar making it feel like a lap steel) and its panned
outputs can be used to create a situation where the position of a
sound in the stereo field is switch according to its volume.
