I don't have FX Noise Gate

Martin-Sparsoe wrote on 2/4/2026, 8:02 AM

Hello,

I've now tried to reach Vegas support for a week and I constantly get the same email that I need to send more details. A fantastic bot email..

Do anyone know why my Vegas Pro 22.0 is not showing that many FX options in regards to Audio?

I especially need "Noise Gate". I truly appreciate any help and guidance! :-)

This is what I have access to.

Thanks!

Strange, it shows up in my V22.

(Intel 3rd gen i5@4.1GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD, 1080Ti GPU, Windows 10) Not now used with Vegas.

13th gen i913900K - water cooled, 96GB RAM, 4TB M2 drive, 4TB games SSD, 2TB video SSD, GPU RTX 4080 Super, Windows 11 pro

If that's what you see under all you're missing most of the Fx. Uninstall and reinstall 22?

Which one did you guys install?
The Windows ARM64?

Normally, noise gate is already automatically in place. You would be able to see it in the track header (click on the three dots). But in the view you showed, click on one of the yellow folders on the left. Noise gate will be in the VEGAS list.

Reinstalling didn't work.

 

I tried to click on the 3 dots and this shows up. Doesn't seem to include Noise Gate?

Q: DirectX plugins not showing in Audio FX list/showing but invalid when added/plugin becomes Demo version, adding causes beeping?

A: Uninstall VEGAS, then delete all files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\VEGAS\Shared Plug-Ins\Audio_x64\"(for VP13-: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Shared Plug-Ins\Audio_x64\"), then reinstall VEGAS. (If multiple VEGAS versions, uninstalling one is enough; the uninstall is just to allow reinstallation later.)

The 'Track Noise Gate' is a DX (Direct X) plug. Look for it in the 'Vegas' or 'Automatable plug-n folders. It is bare bones with very few settings and is pretty much useless for anything complex.
If you have VST noise gates, you can try 'Enable support for 32bit VST
plug-ins' in "Options> Preferences> Audio" I thought there was a setting for legacy Direct X plugs as well but I cannot find it (in Vegas).
There are lots of third-party noise gate/expander plug-ins available .. free and otherwise. Most audio folks have their go-to favorite. I prefer the gate in the old Sonitus Ultrafunk suite, which is no longer available, neither are activation codes.
