The Problem
A Tale of Frustration & Wasted Time — Does it sound familiar?
It only takes one session mixing drums to hate cymbal bleed. You know how it goes: you set the gate to react with the drums perfectly, but the cymbal bleed ruins it. Then you adjust the gate to deal with the cymbal bleed and now your drums are choked.
It seems no matter how long you spend adjusting settings, it just doesn't work — either the cymbal bleed ruins everything or you lose the depth of your drum shells.
After many frustrating hours, you hit up the internet for help. Forum posts and YouTube videos say you need to use a filter plugin, so you decide to give it a try.
- ✓ One gate cannot react differently to every part of the drum.
- ✓ Cymbal bleed can force you to sacrifice attack and body.
- ✓ Too much tweaking steals time from the actual mix.
Instead Of Mixing Your Song…
You're Fighting The Plugin, Not The Song
You fight with the plugin algorithm trying to find the "sweet spot" to remove cymbal bleed. After finally figuring that out, what is the result?
The filter might suppress more cymbal bleed, but it ends up killing the tone of your drums. There you are, back at square one — wasting time trying to find that mythical combination of gate and filter settings.
Why is this frustrating method promoted as an industry standard? Wouldn't it be nice to focus on your music instead of fighting with cymbal bleed?
You aren't alone with this thought. In fact, you probably found this page searching for a solution that actually works. You came to the right place.
The Solution
Gain Full Control of Cymbal Bleed Forever
The secret of Multiband Gate is both genius and simple. It splits the drum signal into separate paths by three frequency ranges.
These ranges can be set up independently from each other, which means you can set the timing of each frequency band of your drums separately. This is important because each range needs to be treated differently — which is why the "industry standard" method doesn't work.
Think about how easy this will be for you. You insert Multiband Gate into your session and it loads instantly. You look at your low floor tom and hear all that glorious attack and low end… but the crash cymbal ruins the high frequencies. No big deal — you nearly laugh as you know how fast and simple this is going to be. You adjust the gate settings for the low frequencies and now you have a beautiful low end that doesn't get cut off.

Dial In The Rest In Minutes
You move to the mid frequencies and adjust the settings gate to keep the attack and splat. No sweat.
Now for the high frequencies… you set the gate quickly by ear, then use the edit window to fine-tune your settings — it shows exactly how long your gate stays open, so it's easy to adjust where it opens and closes.
Finally, you turn down the volume of the upper frequencies a bit, reducing cymbal bleed even more. You look at the time and this whole process took you about two minutes.
You just gated all of your shells in less than ten minutes — now it's time for a coffee break as you think about everybody else struggling. You almost feel bad. Almost.
So much faster, more effective, and easier than struggling with multiple gate and filter plugins for hours! Think of all the mixes you can finish quicker and with better quality. This will be your secret weapon that grants you a massive advantage while others continue to struggle and compromise with their mixes.

“The AIX Drum Producer pack has completely changed the way I mix drums. As long as you have a well recorded source, achieving a monstrous drum sound is easy!”

★★★★★
“They figured out how to put everything into one plugin and make it work. Professional mixers I’ve talked to and friends of mine all love this. It’s a really fantastic plugin.”
Warren HuartProduce Like A Pro
★★★★★
“The difference is outrageous. Even if you go in and clean the drum bleed up manually, you still can’t change the attack and release of the individual parts of the kit.”
