Track Noise Gate

I cannot see any difference at all between the Track Noise Gate and the XFX Noise Gate, and it is likely that they are identical. 

In the Plug-In Chooser, double-click the Track Noise Gate plug-in and click OK... 

Track FX are generally simpler versions of some of the other effects available from Sonic Foundry, such as the XFX series of plug-ins. Some types of effects work better on a project level, such as using Reverb to create a room atmosphere for an entire song. Some effects are best used at the track level, such as using a Noise Gate to remove the hum of a camera motor in the soundtrack of a video clip. Track FX are optimized for ease of use on tracks but can be used at the bus and project level as well. Likewise, there is no reason not to use ExpressFX or XFX on the track level either. 

More than one effect can be used at a time on a single track, bus, or project. FX are applied in a particular order in an FX Chain. The order of plug-ins can be important in the final sound. Some FX belong very late in the chain (such as EQ and Reverb) and some earlier (Compression). Others shonld be used in a particular order. Track FX plug-ins are usually applied in this order Compression, Noise Gate, and, finally, EQ. This is not a hard and fast mle, and there may be creative reasons why you d want to alter this sequence. FX chains and ordering are discnssed in more detail in the next chapter. 

The first FX in a chain are typically the ones used to correct tracks with problems (such as background noise) or to clean up a sound to prepare it for later effects. The Compression plugin is frequently the first effect in a chain and is then quickly followed by a Noise Gate to remove any artifacts caused by compression. These both modify the level and dynamics of a sound, so the other related FX would also be used at this stage. Graphic Dynamics and Multi-Band Dynamics.
