MDrumReplacer – Fix your Drum Recordings in SECONDS

Not every hit is perfect, not every drum take is flawless, nor every drum sounds nice. But with MDrumReplacer no drum recording is gone for good. No matter if had bad mics positions or you just hate the entire drumset. MDrumReplacer fixes all that in a second. And still, your recordings will sound incredibly live.

Intelligent drum-hit detection
MDrumEnhancer‘s powerful drum-hit detector works with maximum precision. With just a little help from you, it finds the hits you wish to replace in both single instrument recordings and sometimes even mixed drum sessions.

Advanced analysis technology
MDrumReplacer is equipped with advanced learning feature which thoroughly examines your audio material to identify the most prominent frequencies and sets the resonators accordingly. Listen feature then lets you audition just the filtered signal so that you can adjust the filters easily to set them as precisely as possible.

Replace completely or blend
You may replace the drum hits completely or just blend the original with the sample to get extra creative effects. How about enhancing your kick with a bit of an electronic flavour, for example?

Fix the performance
MDrumReplacer basically includes the whole MDrumLeveler plugin. Therefore you may successfully use MDrumReplacer not just for replacing „bad hits“ but also to iron the drummer‘s performance. Just let the detector find an event and compute its correct level. The processor applies the requested gain to the event. Your drummer will seem to have a firm hand and solid performance.

Simple operation
In most cases, you will simply run the detector and choose a sound you want the unwanted hits to be replaced with. Your cheap snare or kick can be replaced with high-end drum within a second.

Keep it live
MDrumReplacer uses the mighty MDrummer’s sound engine, that means synthesized drums as well as top-quality drum multi-samples which respect the original drummer‘s performance and feel. The performance remains human, not robotic. Although some imperfections can be fixed with built-in drum leveler.

Tons of samples
MDrumReplacer can use the huge MDrummer multi-sample libraries (including Drum Empire 2020) to select a replacement that fits your track the best. At this moment, you may choose from 80 gigabytes of samples. And the editing possibilities are endless. You can finally find the perfect sound!

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.

MAIN 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.
• Decay curve which adapts to the velocity of each drum hit, giving you consistent spill reduction on dynamic performances.
• 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.

Thenatan presents music makers across the globe with one of our first vst plug-ins In 2019 that we like to call “TRAX”.

• Compatible With All Major DAW’s Such As Ableton , Fl , Cubase , Reaper And ETC.

MDrumLeveler is a unique tool specially designed for drums and percussive materials. It will improve the drum performances, stabilize drum hit levels, remove leakage and ambience and let you control the drum hits better than you ever could with traditional tools.

Truly Transparent Event-Based Processing

Traditional dynamic processors (compressors, expanders, gates…) detect levels of input samples and transform them depending on the transfer curve. This means that the gain is changing on every sample. This can be very well used to shape the sound itself, but it is hard to make it transparent if you want to level individual drum hits. MDrumLeveler on the other hand analyzes the incoming audio, detects events (drum hits for example) in it and transforms them somehow. That way it adjusts the level of each event, but does not alter the actual sound or color, so the results are unbelievably transparent.

Improves Drum Performances

No drummer’s performance is perfect, each hit has a different velocity, and difference in levels are even exaggerated by the recording equipment. But there is a very high standard for perfectness in performances for most modern styles. Vocalists regularly use automatic tuner, drummers have MDrumLeveler now. It can even out drum hit levels, so the performance will just sound perfect even if it, well, is not.

Removes Leakage and Ambience

Traditionally you use gates to attenuate the audio in between separate hits in order to remove ambience and leakage from other instruments. That is necessary for modern tight mixes and very hard to accomplish with standard tools. MDrumLeveler can do it with unbelievable ease and provides unbelievable results thanks to the advanced event-based processing.

Drum Envelope Shaping

MDrumLeveler lets you shape the envelope of each drum hit. Whether you want a longer body or faster release, it is no problem for MDrumLeveler. And you don’t need to spend hours experimenting, MDrumLeveler gives you a direct control of these parameters.

Adjustable to Any Audio Material

Drum recordings are rarely flawless, usually contain lots of leakage, ambience, artifacts… MDrumLeveler’s event detector is highly adjustable. Among other settings, you can use 2 parallel resonant band-pass filters to target the dominant frequencies of the drum you are interested in.

Can Be Used Live

MDrumLeveler’s job cannot be done without looking “into the future”. By default it looks 20ms ahead, which provides 100% accuracy for all standard drums. But you can get much lower – in most cases look-ahead below 5ms still works perfectly, good enough for using it live. MDrumLeveler can know how hard you hit the drum just a few milliseconds after you do that.

Features

The Most Advanced User Interface on the Market – Stylable, Resizable, GPU Accelerated

• Modern user interfaces must not only be easy and quick to use, but also versatile and the whole visual appearance should inspire you. MDrumLeveler features the most advanced GUI engine on the market. It is still the first and only GUI engine, which is freely resizable and stylable. It also lets you choose between knobs, sliders or buttons, whichever you like the most.
• The plugin can look as an ancient vintage gear, if you are working on old-school rock music. Or as super-modern futuristic device if you are working on modern electronic music.
• If your display doesn’t have a high resolution, you can make the plugin smaller. If the fonts are too small, you can make the plugin bigger and save your eyes.
• All the graphics is accelerated using your GPU, graphical interface, providing ultimately quick response and keep your CPU focused on the audio.

Unique Visualisation Engine with Classic Meters and Time Graphs

• Your ears should always be the main judge, but a smart metering system can often be a huge help. MDrumLeveler provides the most advanced metering system out there. The plugin can display the measurements of all relevant values using classic meters, or it can even show them in time using the time graphs. Everything is customisable as usual.Modulators

Multiparameters

• MDrumLeveler provides 4 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR enveloper, randomiser or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin’s side-chain.
• You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.

M/S, Single Channel, Up to 8 Channels Surround Processing…

• MDrumLeveler lets you control multiple parameters using a single so-called multiparameter. This may not only come handy for automation for example, but the multiparameters are very smart units and you can use them to smartly morph between banks of settings for example. All in the name of creativity!

Automatic Gain Compensation (AGC)

• Most plugins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not mentioning randomisation. MDrumLeveler includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.

Safety Limiter

• Some plugins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MDrumLeveler provides a safety brick wall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.

Adjustable Up-Sampling 1x-16x

• Digital audio provides very superior audio quality compared to ancient analog gear, but there are problems too. The main problem is the aliasing, which may be noticeable, when using nonlinear processes such as compression or saturation. MDrumLeveler includes both minimum-phase and high-quality linear-phase upsampling algorithms, which avoids the aliasing.

MIDI Controllers with MIDI Learn

• MDrumLeveler contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listen to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and control any parameters realtime.

64-bit Processing and an Unlimited Sampling Rate

• MDrumLeveler provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. It does not make much sense to go over 192kHz, but if you think it is a good idea, the plugin can do that.

Extremely Fast, Optimised for Newest AVX Capable Processors

• Computers are now extremely fast, but the algorithms are more complex and projects bigger, so we still need to use the processing power with care. MDrumLeveler uses the fastest algorithms, takes advantage of the newest processor capabilities, lets your GPU handle the graphics, and shares the resources with other MeldaProduction plugins. The plugin is among the fastest on the market, yet it provides the best possible audio quality.

Global Preset Management and Online Preset Exchange

• MDrumLeveler presets are carefully stored in a system database and you can quickly access them from any project in any host. The plugin can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers. We are building a community and you can be a part of it!

Supports VST, VST3, AU and AAX Interfaces on Windows & Mac, both 32-bit and 64-bit

• MDrumLeveler supports all major hosts on both platforms. Check system requirements for information about compatibility and installation.

No Dongle nor Internet Access is Required for Activation

• How many times did you forget your USB dongle? We are an honest company and expect the same from our customers. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. And the licences are to-person, so you can use it on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Free-for-Life Updates

• When you buy the software you are entitled to free updates, forever. No more money wasted on major upgrades like it is with other companies. And we upgrade our software a lot!

MDrumEnhancer is a unique tool that follows your drum track and synthesizes it’s own signal using samples to make it sound big and phat, without any problems drum replacing suffers from. Add snare noises, improve bass drum’s boom or snap, or even resynthesize the sound completely.

Modern Alternative to Drum Replacing

MDrumEnhancer doesn’t suffer from latency, missed notes or nonexistent notes, incorrect velocities, loss of dynamics and other problems which make drum replacing so hard to use. You simply select a preset or sample, fine-tune a few parameters if needed and let the plugin do the magic.

Get that Big, Phat Drum Sound … Fast!

Normally, recording engineers spend hours to set the microphones right. 2 or 3 mikes for snare drum just to ensure both the body and snares are captured, similarly for bass drum to get both snap and boom… Then the mixing engineer spends hours trying to make it sound good and in 50% cases he/she ends up with drum replacing. 

MDrumEnhancer makes this process so much simpler. You don’t need several tracks for a snare drum, because the plugin can fill what’s missing. And unlike drum replacing it is so easy to set up. And unlike equalization & compression it can add what hasn’t actually been captured in your recording.

Live Drum Mixing

Mixing live drums is one of the hardest tasks of a mixing engineer, but MDrumEnhancer makes it much easier. It has no latency, so it can indeed be used live. Instead of neverending tweaking of equalizers and compressors trying to get at least mediocre results, you can simply employ MDrumEnhancer, select a preset and you are good to go and the results will be far beyond what you could reach with standard tools.

It Can Blend with Any Material

MDrumEnhancer is quite a straightforward plugin, but has enough controls to let you fine-tune it for any material. You can change pitch of the samples to tune it to your drum track, it has a full dynamic equalizer so you can tweak the spectrum of the enhancement signal, sustain control lets you make the drum hits shorter but also longer than they actually are and even provide cool reverberation.

Get world-class drum sound in minutes

MDrumStrip is genuinely the only acoustic drum mixing plugin you will ever need! It gives you a quick and simple way to mix modern punchy drums with all instructions included. Minimal learning curve and no guessing game. MDrumStrip is made specifically made for modern rock and metal, but it is suitable for other genres as well.

All-in-one solution for any drum mixing

MDrumStrip has been designed for one specific task and contains everything it needs to do. No need for several compression and EQ plugins reverbs etc. Just follow the instructions and do the mixing. Usually, only minimal tweaks are needed since it smartly analyses your audio and customises the internal algorithms for it. It’s quick and easy. But MDrumStrip also contains lots of more advanced controls, just in case you want to go in-depth. With zero latency, you can even take MDrumStrip out and use it live.

Hidden know-how

We designed MDrumStrip with the complex know-how of how world-class producers do their job and made the plugin simple yet versatile. No need to learn all the know-how yourself. Isn’t that what computers are for? Of course, if you already have dozens of audio plugins and you already have years of experience with mixing drums, you may mix the drums the way you have done so far. But why would you, if it could be easier, faster and perhaps even better sounding with MDrumStrip?

Mix your drums quickly and easily within a few steps

1. Send all your drums to one bus and insert MDrumStrip (select the device Master)
2. Engage an instance of MDrumStrip on every drum channel and select the appropriate device (device Snare on snare drum etc.)
3. Solo your snare drum, analyze the sound by turning on the Auto Input for a few seconds.
4. Fine-tune by toggling the EQ frequencies.
5. Use XY pad to tweak the dynamics.
6. Use bleed kill and gate if necessary.
7. Repeat the process for bass drum, toms, hi-hat, overheads and rooms.
8. Create a tom bus channel and send all toms tracks to it. Load MDrumStrip (select Tom bus device). Hit Auto Input to analyze.
9. Now that individual drums are ready, switch to the drum master bus and hit the Auto Input button.
10. Create a parallel bus, load MDrumStrip (Parallel device) send all tracks to it and analyze.
11. Use the saved time to have some rest.

EQ for every drum sound: Equalization is… well… difficult. But MDrumStrip not only does some magical fixes, it also has a dedicated dynamic EQ for each track in your drum setup. Just set the fundamental of your, say, snare drum using the analyzer and then try different bands – do these make things better or worse? That’s the only question.

Dynamic X-Y pad: Long gone are the times you just needed a little compression. These days we need intricate ways to give the drums a punchy transient, yet powerful sustain. MDrumStrip then let’s you blend between these using a simple X-Y pad, so that you can quickly and easily select your preferred character.

To bleed, or not to bleed? MDrumStrip’s Gate & Bleed Kill features lets you attenuate the bleed from different elements in your drum kit, especially cymbals. That is fundamental to get the desired tight punchy sound people are expecting these days.

Reverb section: Even if your recording room is perfect, there’s still a use for a good reverb, especially on the monophonic close mics. MDrumStrip comes with dozens of algorithms specifically selected for each audio material.
