Hello lllist,

I am still pretty new at FFT things but I am having a lot of fun.  I know Tom Erbe's soundhack has something called a "spectral gate" so I thought I'd give it a shot and try to make my own in Pd after reading about it.  Doesn't sound all that great, it actually ends up sounding like a really low quality wma file or something :)

Is this technically a spectral gate?  I'm using [>~] from zexy which in my mind says, "Look at all of the frequencies in the block and only allow those which are above value x to pass through."  I've attached the patch here - any info or guidance is much appreciated.  Any sound that goes through it pretty much loses all definition and clarity - is there a fix for this?

Kevin
