Yeah, thats one thing Ive always really liked was the reason reverb. The gated feature is so easy to use and sounds just like you want it to. Man I love my third party compressors/eq's/limiters though.
Cytomic - The Glue is so dope, Voxengo pretty much makes everything excellent (even their utility plugs are a lifesaver - perfect example: normally I end up mic'ing acoustic guitar correctly as to not accrue any phase issues, but not too long ago I ended up with a slight amount of comb filtering in my stereo recording so I ended up reaching for my Voxengo PHA-979. That thing was a lifesaver for real. After a couple minutes shifting the body mic back into phase my entire recording came to life, plus the plug affords you the opportunity to flip the phase as well which is yet another really useful feature....) My point - you just dont get tools like that in a program like Record. At least not to my knowledge....And my list goes on cuz I have so many dope plugs I use that are all 3rd party.
