Are you tired of the overly complex and time-consuming workflows needed to get the clean and consistent results you want with your drums? Meet the new Oxford Drum Gate, it’s swift and logical workflow solves these problems and delivers the fastest, most musical and transparent results available.
Designed specifically with drums in mind, the Oxford Drum Gate uses transient detection in place of peak detection to construct a more detailed map of a track’s foreground and background elements. The plug-in offers three methods for triggering the gate: setting a threshold, matching transients, or by selecting uncannily accurate kick, snare, and tom profiles. Additionally, you can output the detected hits to MIDI in real-time instant drum replacement or capture a MIDI file for later manipulation.
One of the most frustrating issues with gates is setting the release time just right. If it closes too late, bleed sneaks in. If it closes too early, it sounds like a bad sample. Thankfully, Oxford Drum Gate’s adaptive decay section ends all of that. Now, you can set the release time according to an adjustable frequency curve — the Oxford cuts out the clutter but retains the natural resonance of the drum hit, so it mixes seamlessly back in with the rest of the kit. Brilliant!
Finally, Oxford Drum Gate offers not one, but two levelers, so you can independently control big hits and softer articulations simultaneously using a single processor — perfect for bringing up subtle ghost notes that might otherwise get lost in a mix, while maintaining overall clarity. And this all happens without compression for even more realism.
