Auburn Sounds have released Renegate Free, a freeware noise gate effect in VST, AAX, AU, and LV2 plugin formats for compatible digital audio workstation software on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The newly released Renegate plugin actually comes in two flavors: Renegate Free ($0) and Renegate Full ($39 regular price, $29 intro sale). The freeware edition comes with the core features, and the Renegate Full adds a few extras for users who want more functionality. Let’s check out Renegate Free first, and then we’ll take a look at the bonus stuff included in the paid edition of the plugin.
Renegate Free is a smooth noise gate plugin that is quick and easy to operate. The plugin utilizes program-dependent hysteresis to detect the unwanted noise and combines that with a look-ahead detection algorithm to preserve the transients.
The freeware version of the plugin also features a program-dependent auto-release to ensure a natural-sounding gating effect. The envelope detection algorithm is based on a 43-bands psychoacoustic auditory model.
Users who purchase Renegate Full will receive the following add-on features:
- Alternative ways to apply Gain Reduction, namely with a 1-pole lowpass or highpass;
- Oversampling;
- Built-in Sequencer;
- Raw knob to get back digital grit if needed.
So, the free version of Renegate is an easy-to-use noise gate with transient detection and smooth release. By purchasing the full version of the software, you’re getting the oversampling functionality and the ability to filter out the unwanted noise as opposed to merely turning down its volume.
Another useful addition is the step sequencer, which turns Renegate Full into a rhythmic effect. You can use it as a trance gate for adding motion to pads and basslines, or as a tool for chopping up percussive loops. Lastly, the so-called “Raw” knob adds a bit of digital dirt to the signal.
Check out the demo video and the audio demos on the Auburn Sounds website. By the way, you should also take a look at their Graillon pitch correction tool, which is featured in our list of free autotune plugins.

onAuburn Sounds makes interesting plugins. The step sequencing in the full version seems to be powerful and is a time saver where as otherwise this would need to be done manually with automation or plugin chains. Thanks for BPB and Auburn Sounds for this giveaway!
