Drum Bleed Reduction Plugin

Using The Bleed

Focus a close drum microphone when nearby cymbals or other drums distract from the intended hit. The dedicated drum modes offer a starting point for the source you are cleaning up.

A starting point

Select Snare, Toms or Kick and check the quietest intentional hits while adjusting the processing. Use Ghost Notes for those softer details, and an external sidechain when a separate trigger is more useful.
