This gate plugin is modeled after an analog gate. With analog gates it
is impossible to set your delay or attack to absolute 0. Since this
plugin is modeled to emulate this type of gate, it also does not let
you go down to absolute 0. Try using the Simple Expander from the CMT
plugins, or if you must, the Hard Gate, also from the CMT plugins.
(The Hard Gate is very harsh and ugly sounding)
