Product information

A precision drum processing suite combining intelligent transient detection, adaptive gating, and dynamic levelling (Oxford Drum Gate) with advanced frequency-dependent envelope shaping for detailed transient and sustain control (Oxford Envolution).

Oxford Drum Gate

Precise and transparent drum gating

Have you become frustrated with the results of unreliable drum gating using traditional tools; chatter, misdetection, choked or lost ghost notes? Are you tired of overly complex and manual workflows?

Then 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. At the heart of the Drum Gate is intelligent drum-hit detection. First, the Plug-In detects them all with tailor-made transient detection. Then, you simply decide which ones to keep.

Detection

Need to reduce spill on a snare track in a dynamic mix of backbeats, ghost notes, and cross stick hits?

No problem! Just click the Snare button.

Decay

Tired of fighting abrupt and un-musical gating? Do you want to keep the natural ring of toms and remove the spill around them?

Easy! Use Drum Gate's adaptive Decay section to quickly focus on the resonance of each tom, in real-time, according to the velocity of each detected hit.

Leveller

Wish you could improve the consistency of the drummer's performance? Of course, you do!

Conform louder main hits and softer background articulations to two separately controlled target level ranges in the Leveller section.

MIDI

Want to augment/replace individual drums with samples and confidently retain the dynamics from the original performance?

Piece of cake! It's delivered by Drum Gate's hit detection and MIDI triggering functionality.

Features

Precise transient detection and intelligent drum-type matching to effortlessly separate the hits you want to keep from the spill you don't.
Create custom drum profiles to isolate unusual drum types or fix the occasional kick, snare, or tom mismatch.
A decay curve that adapts to the velocity of each drum hit, giving you consistent spill reduction on dynamic performances.
The Spectral decay editor lets you preserve the resonance, ring, or rattle of each drum hit while quickly clamping down on the spill.
The leveller's dual-target and amount controls let you improve level consistency without losing the contrast between loud hits and soft ghost notes.
Real-time MIDI output and MIDI file capture, for accurately triggering drum samples.

Oxford Envolution

Envolution is a frequency-dependent envelope shaper with separate transient and sustain sections, to radically re-shape the envelope of your instruments or audio.

Use a broader tilt mode or the more parametric-style focus mode to choose which frequencies are processed.

Insert on a track, bus or even master output to add presence/distance to drums, piano, guitar and any other percussive content. Boost sustain to make the ambience around a recording bloom, or cut it for quick and precise gating.

We love the more creative and extreme side of the plug-in too; like using the DIFF button to generate negative ratio compression effects.

Features

Frequency-dependent control of Transients & Sustain
Tilt/parametric targeting of frequencies to process
DIFF button to solo the effect
Use in parallel without phase cancellation
Warmth control for - Harmonic saturation/tone shaping and prevention of excessive output levels
Many great presets to get you started
