Mix DRUMS is a user-friendly mix processing plugin designed to enhance the punch and perceived loudness of your drums without increasing peak levels. Co-developed with mixing engineer Emre Ramazanoglu, it condenses intricate drum processing into one streamlined tool – delivering hard-hitting drum sounds in seconds.

Features

If you need a quick and easy way to turn your flat, lifeless drums into something mix-ready, the Mix DRUMS might just be your answer. Its advanced input ceiling system and parallel processing engine boost tone and perceived loudness while keeping peak levels intact.

  • Smart Peak Control: The one-click input ceiling control engages a transparent signal-path clipper, providing maximum punch without distortion.
  • Distortion Architecture: Blend and mix your clean and distorted signals to add warmth, weight and harmonic depth to your drums.
  • Noise Layering: Introduce vinyl cracks, tape hiss or electronic textures. Pre or post-processing for creative flexibility.
  • Transient Shapers: Multiband transient shaping gives you the ability to shape attack and sustain independently across bands to dial in the perfect smack and body.
  • Filter Sculpting: Focus your lows, or tame your highs,, using the musical high-pass and low-pass filters before and after the drive stage.
  • Dynamic Space Section: Introduce width, depth, and movement with reverb, tape delay, and digital delay options.
  • Dual-Band Engine: Dedicated drive, transient and tone stages for your separate processing paths (lows/mids-highs).
  • Clean Highs: Restore crisp, phase-aligned top-end detail after distortion for clear hats and cymbals.
  • Mix-Ready Presets: 92 professionally designed presets categorized by drum type, genre, and intensity for instant results.
