I am using Ardour, a MIDI-Keyboard (old YAMAHA), a Fender Mustang I for picking up the guitar signal and a AudioTechnica AT2020 USB+ for speech and vocals.

Yeah DItto , i wouldnt gate while recording , try gating on the mix down or if youre doing it for speech / dialogue, ducking mode is ok.
You can get a free plug in from Plug In Boutique called EFEKTOR Silencer , never used it but its free or of you got a few bucks try the Gatekeeper by Polyverse , its pretty cool.
