<h1>Sonnox Oxford Drum Gate</h1>
The Sonnox <span style="background-color: initial;">Oxford Drum Gate plug-in solves the problems common with unreliable drum gating using traditional tools; chatter, misdetection, and choked or lost ghost notes. Sonnox Oxford Drum gate features a swift and logical workflow that delivers the fastest, most musical and transparent results available.</span><div><br /></div><div>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.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: initial;">Oxford Drum Gate uses an intelligent detection algorithm to tell the difference </span><span style="background-color: initial;">between snares, kicks, toms and cymbals, rather than simply gating anything below </span><span style="background-color: initial;">a certain threshold, which means you can get quick, precise results, even on poorly </span><span style="background-color: initial;">recorded material. Furthermore, it employs frequency dependant decay and </span><span style="background-color: initial;">transparent levelling to tidy up performances, and features MIDI output for easy </span><span style="background-color: initial;">drum replacement or reinforcement.</span></div><div><br /></div>
<h3>Sonnox Oxford Drum Gate Features:</h3>
<ul>
	<li><span style="background-color: initial; letter-spacing: 0px;">Precise transient detection and intelligent drum-type matching to effortlessly separate the hits you want to keep from the spill you don't.</span></li>
	<li>Create custom drum profiles to isolate unusual drum types or fix the occasional kick, snare, or tom mismatch.</li>
	<li>Decay curve which adapts to the velocity of each drum hit, giving you consistent spill reduction on dynamic performances.</li>
	<li>Spectral decay editor lets you preserve the resonance, ring, or rattle of each drum hit while quickly clamping down on the spill.</li>
	<li>The leveller's dual target and amount controls let you improve level consistency without losing the contrast between loud hits and soft ghost notes.</li>
	<li>Real-time MIDI output and MIDI file capture, for accurately triggering drum samples.</li>

<h3>Detection</h3>

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

No problem! Just click the Snare button.<br /><br />

 


<h3>Decay</h3>

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

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.<br /><br />

 


<h3>Leveller</h3>

Wish you could improve the consistency of the drummer's performance?<br /><br />

Of course you do! Conform louder main hits and softer background articulations to two separately controlled target level ranges in the Leveller section.<br /><br />

 


<h3>MIDI</h3>

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

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