This way, sounds don't "suddenly" appear out of nowhere but will have a more realistic attack. Good advice, but I prefer to use (downwards) expansion instead of gating.

I think this is like the 'cold fire' technique foresters use to clean the floor of the forest. If you remove the junk, everything is cleaner and basically better. Another way to do this without using a gate plugin, is to use the Instrument Envelope tool in Renoise to shape the end of the sound. I use this extensively on drum sounds to cut away the rumble and dirt. There is a danger that you can over-do this and make things sound too mechanical, but it is a very important technique.
