At one point I got things so even-sounding that it was sounding like drum samples too mechanical for the record I'm sharing from here, so i dialed it back a bit. I used the same sort of trickery to shape the kick and snare. By shortening the sustain of some of the "wonkier" parts of the tom decay (ie - the low mids), the toms sound much more even, better-played, and better tuned. However, the toms on this project were already strip-silenced, so the gate isn't working nearly as hard on the tom tracks.īut the thing i really (REALLY!!!) dug about the gate on toms is, i can tailor the sustain of each drum in such a controlled way that it makes it sound like the kit was better-tuned and/or the heads were fresher. There are also two more toms on this kit. I'm really starting to love this thing! This is basically the same format as the previous thing i posted, but with the addition of kick out and snare bottom mics. I also wish there was a ducking function to complement the gating function.
My biggest gripes right now are with the decay controls I feel they're a bit limited and could be expanded considerably. And I dig what I can do with it on a room mic for quickly enhancing kicks or snares, though I'm not sure it will replace my usual methodology of keyed gating (though for quicker projects it might make for an excellent and effective compromise when i don't have the time to fully map out midi notes for kick and snare performances). I will say that the oxford's ability to let thru ghost notes is absolutely astounding. I like mdrumleveller better, but I still haven't given the oxford a full, fair shake so i'm not committing to any verdicts just yet. The leveling part is only "ok" for me so far. The gating features are nice, if not a bit time-consuming to set up to their fullest effect. The Sonnox one has impressed me more so far, but I'm still testing it. I felt it was a bit slow and sluggish in its response. Slate's gate didn't do much of anything for me. Interested in learning more? Then please visit our site tomorrow: We’re rather proud of this new addition to our family!

After which it’ll revert to its full retail price of £170.00/$244.80, $230.00 MAP. This 25% saving will last until midnight GMT Wednesday 4th December 2019. The Oxford Drum Gate will launch at an introductory retail price of £127.50/$183.00, $172.00 MAP. Piece of cake! It’s delivered by Drum Gate’s hit detection and MIDI triggering functionality. Want to augment/replace individual drums with samples and confidently retain the dynamics from the original performance? Of course you do! Conform louder main hits and softer background articulations to two separately controlled target level ranges in the Leveller section.Ĥ. Wish you could improve the consistency of the drummer’s performance? Tired of fighting abrupt and un-musical gating? Do you want to keep the natural ring of toms and remove the spill around them?Įasy! Use Drum Gate’s adaptive Decay section to quickly tune the resonance of each tom, in real-time, according to the velocity of each detected hit.ģ. Then, you simply decide which hits on which drums to keep.įor example, do you need to reduce spill on a snare track in a dynamic mix of backbeats, ghost notes, and cross stick hits? First, all hits are analysed in real-time using tailor-made transient detection. At the heart of it is intelligent drum-hit Detection. Then please let us introduce the Oxford Drum Gate it's swift and logical workflow solves all these problems and delivers the fastest, most musical and transparent results available.ġ.
Perhaps, like us, you’ve also become tired of the overly complex and time-consuming workflows needed to get the clean and consistent results you want? Here at Sonnox HQ we’ve become progressively frustrated with the unreliable results we get when using traditional tools to gate drums chatter, misdetection, choked and lost ghost notes to name but a few.
Tomorrow (9th October 2019) we’ll be unleashing a brand new Oxford Plug-In into the acoustic drum production world.
