DeBleed:Drums
Goodbye Bleed, Hello Clarity
If you work with recorded drums, you’ll know that unwanted mic bleed can be a big problem, making mixes sound muddy and lacking in definition. Not anymore! DeBleed:Drums is an advanced AI-powered plug-in that enables mixing engineers and studio professionals to quickly and transparently remove unwanted mic spill from drum recordings in real-time, without compromising on quality.
Designed to enhance clarity and streamline the mixing process, DeBleed:Drums is an essential studio software tool that ensures engineers can achieve tight, professional drum mixes faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Simple, one-time pricing. No subscriptions. Pay once, own it forever.
Conventional noise gates can often struggle to remove mic bleed effectively, leading to choked hits, missing ghost notes, and excessive spill. The result? Drums that sound flat, lifeless, or even needing to be replaced entirely with samples.
DeBleed:Drums revolutionizes the process. It precisely isolates drum hits, minimizes spill, and retains the authentic resonance of your kit. Say goodbye to bad-detections and unnatural gating — experience clean, tight, and dynamic drum sounds every time.
For optimal results, DeBleed:Drums leverages neural network technology to separate drum kit elements, like kicks and snares, while DSP algorithms protect transients for clarity. Its smart triggering logic sets thresholds to remove bleed efficiently, delivering a cleaner and more natural drum mix.
Works the way you do. Not the other way around.

“The results are musical, fast, and impressive – especially with live or rehearsal room recordings. Remix:Drums and DeBleed:Drums score points as an intuitively usable toolset for anyone looking for more control over their drum recordings or drum loops – without losing the natural sound.”
- Beat Magazine | July 2025
“DeBleed: Drums has been a revelation. It goes way beyond what traditional tools can achieve, and works better than some other 'smart gates' I've used. There remain strong arguments for embracing bleed when miking, but when I want to turn it down, this is the tool I'll now reach for first.”
Sound on Sound | September 2025
“Thanks to its AI-powered engine that properly isolates drum hits to minimise or kill the spill, it far surpasses existing tools that use conventional downwards processes.”
Production Expert | May 2025
“Without making any adjustments, it killed 90% of the unwanted bleed! I only had to adjust the trigger threshold to get all the way there. Game-changer."
Modern Drummer | Sep 2025
