What MDrumStrip Is For
MDrumStrip is designed to speed up and ensure reliable mixing of acoustic or electronic drums. Whether it's cleaning microphone bleed, enhancing snare impact, grounding the kick in the low end, or gluing the entire kit via a parallel bus, the plugin provides an optimized processing chain per element. It suits producers, mixers, and musicians seeking professional results without wasting time stacking disparate plugins.
Main Features
Dedicated devices per kit element
Each instance is configured as a targeted "device": "Kick," "Snare," "Toms," "Hi-Hat," "Overheads," "Room," "Tom Bus," "Master," or "Parallel." This approach guarantees relevant and consistent settings according to the processed source.
Intelligent analysis and input matching
The Auto Input tool analyzes the signal, normalizes the input, and proposes a suitable base setting. Simply route your tracks correctly, activate the analysis, then fine-tune by ear.
Complete sound sculpting
Each device combines dedicated EQ, a flexible dynamics section, integrated reverb, and an XY pad for quick punch/ambiance control. The Bleed Kill and Gate modules help clean bleed and control crosstalk.
Bus and parallel management
Create a toms bus, a master bus, and a parallel bus to glue the kit and increase impact. Analyze each bus, then finalize the overall balance in minutes.
