Oxford Drum Gate

Have you, like us, become frustrated with unreliable drum gating results from traditional tools – chatter, misdetection, choked, or lost ghost notes? Are you tired of overly complex and manual workflows? The Oxford Drum Gate offers a swift and logical solution, providing the fastest, most musical, and transparent results available.

At the core of the Oxford Drum Gate is its intelligent drum-hit detection. The plugin utilizes tailor-made transient detection to capture all drum hits, allowing you to choose which hits to keep with ease.

The Drum Gate features four core functions:

• Detection: Reduce spill on a snare track effortlessly by using the intelligent Snare button.
• Decay: Maintain the natural ring of toms while removing spill with the adaptive Decay section that dynamically adjusts according to each detected hit’s velocity.
• Trigger: Improve the consistency of a drummer’s performance by leveling main hits and softer articulations within two independently controlled target level ranges.
• MIDI: Augment or replace individual drums with samples, retaining the dynamics of the original performance with Drum Gate’s MIDI triggering capability.

Key Features:

• Precise Transient Detection: Intelligent drum-type matching to effortlessly separate desired hits from unwanted spill.
• Custom Drum Profiles: Create custom profiles to isolate unusual drum types or fix mismatches for kicks, snares, or toms.
• Adaptive Decay Curve: Adjusts dynamically to the velocity of each drum hit, ensuring consistent spill reduction during dynamic performances.
• Spectral Decay Editor: Preserve resonance, ring, or rattle of each drum hit while effectively minimizing unwanted spill.
• Leveling Control: Dual target and amount controls improve level consistency while maintaining the contrast between loud hits and soft ghost notes.
• Real-time MIDI Output: MIDI file capture for accurate drum sample triggering.
