Oxford Drum Gate 2 is a specialized noise gate plugin designed exclusively for drum mixing that combines intelligent hit detection with phase alignment and adaptive decay control. Unlike traditional threshold-based gates, it identifies and classifies individual drum hits by type—kick, snare, tom, hi-hat—to remove bleed and spill while preserving ghost notes and natural resonance. It delivers mix-ready drums from the first hit with precise time, polarity, and phase alignment across multitrack kits, plus built-in leveling and clipping for consistent, punchy drum sounds.
