    The Noise Gate Built For Drums

    Inconsistent hits, phase issues, and uncontrolled spill can make or break a drum mix before the rest of the production has even begun.

    Not a threshold-based noise gate. Not source separation. A purpose-built drum detection engine.

    Whether you're mixing live-tracked drums across close mics, overheads and rooms, or shaping kit sounds from stems, Drum Gate 2 gives you total command so these elements work for your mix rather than against it.

    Isolate hits from bleed instantly, even in busy close-mics.

    Intelligent Drum Hit Detection

    Drum close mics are full of bleed, and traditional threshold gates can't tell the difference between real hits and unwanted spill. Ghost notes disappear, cross stick gets lost, and you end up fighting the gate instead of mixing.

    Drum Gate 2 uses intelligent detection to identify kicks, snares, hi-hats and toms with precision, even in complex playing. Choose which drums to process and let the detection engine do the work.

    The result? Clean, controlled tracks where every intentional hit stays intact and bleed is removed reliably.

    Keep the ring, lose the noise.

    Adaptive Decay

    Noise gates often cut too aggressively, choking a drum's natural ring and leaving hits sounding flat and lifeless. Fixed decay settings can't adapt to real performances. Soft hits get truncated, harder hits ring unnaturally, and spill still finds its way through when you loosen the gate.

    Adaptive Decay adjusts the decay time based on each hit's velocity, so the gate responds musically rather than mechanically.

    Drums keep their natural resonance. Unwanted noise is clamped down automatically, even in complex performances.

    Tighter dynamics, less automation.

    Leveller

    Inconsistent drum hits can make balancing a mix harder than it needs to be. Accents jump out, ghost notes disappear, and you end up relying on automation just to keep things under control.

    Drum Gate's Level tab smooths out performance variations while preserving the contrast between louder hits and subtle ghost notes.

    Tighter, more consistent drums that sit naturally in the mix, with less automation and more musical control.

    Fix phase issues in one click. Tighter low end, punchier shells.

    Time, Polarity & Phase Alignment

    Kick drums losing low-end weight. Snares thinning out. Transients smearing before the mix has even begun.

    When drum tracks aren’t aligned in time and phase, you’re fighting the kit from the very first hit.

    Drum Gate 2 precisely aligns your entire drum setup in both time and phase, locking the kit together so the foundation of your mix is solid from the start.

    Clipping built in. No extra plugins needed.

    Hit Clipper

    Traditional clippers react unevenly to changing drum dynamics. Loud hits get crushed while quieter hits slip through untouched.

    Drum Gate 2’s Intelligent Leveller feeds the clipper the peak information, so each transient is clipped on its own terms.

    Uniform power, density, and clarity, even in dense mixes.

    Sample Rates & Latency

    Oxford Drum Gate 2 introduces latency due to its lookahead detection, ML classification, and spectral processing. This makes it primarily intended for mixing rather than live tracking.

    Your DAW’s automatic delay compensation will handle this latency across all tracks, so it won’t cause timing issues in your mix.

    For live monitoring or tracking sessions, bypass Oxford Drum Gate 2 during recording and enable it afterwards for mixing.
