An AI-based plug-in that removes unwanted mic spill from drum recordings quickly and transparently in real time.

Conventional noise gates often struggle with mic bleed, leading to choked hits, missing ghost notes and leftover spill – DeBleed:Drums instead isolates drum hits precisely, minimises spill and retains the authentic resonance of your kit. A neural network trained on hours of real drum recordings separates kit elements such as kick and snare, while DSP algorithms protect the transients and smart triggering logic sets the thresholds. The result is clean, tight and dynamic drum mixes, achieved faster and without a muddy, undefined sound.
