About Sonnox Oxford Drum Gate 2

The Sonnox Oxford Drum Gate 2 is an advanced drum processing plugin designed to deliver clean, mix-ready drum tracks from the first hit. It features intelligent detection, phase-locked alignment, and adaptive decay, tailored for the complexities of drum mixing.

• Time, Polarity & Phase Alignment: Analyzes and aligns your entire drum setup in both time and phase, ensuring a solid foundation for your mix.
• Hit Clipper: Applies per-hit transient clipping, maintaining consistent impact and density in dense mixes without additional plugins.
• External Sidechain: Supports external sidechain triggering via audio or MIDI, allowing precise control over gating across multiple mic channels.
• Adaptive Resonant Decay: Utilizes resonance detection to separate the natural decay of each drum hit from bleed and spill, preserving transients.
• Enhanced Drum Type Classification: Accurately detects kicks, snares, toms, and hi-hats across various performances and recording scenarios.

With its comprehensive toolkit, Oxford Drum Gate 2 streamlines the drum mixing process, providing precise control over drum recordings.
