Acon Digital DeBleed:Drums
Acon Digital DeBleed:Drums is a powerful and highly specialized bleed-reduction plugin designed to clean up multi-mic drum recordings. Using advanced signal processing, DeBleed:Drums intelligently reduces microphone crosstalk—such as cymbals bleeding into tom mics or snare hits leaking into overheads—while preserving the natural character and punch of the drums.
Whether you’re mixing live recordings, studio drum sessions, or complex multi-mic setups, DeBleed:Drums gives you precise control over unwanted bleed, allowing you to shape cleaner, more focused drum tracks without introducing artifacts or compromising dynamics.
Advanced Drum Bleed Suppression
The plugin analyzes phase, transient detail, and spectral content to separate the intended drum signal from bleed sources. This results in greater clarity, tighter low end, and improved separation between individual drum kit components—essential for modern drum mixing workflows.
Key Highlights
- Optimized for Drum Recordings: Tailored algorithms specifically tuned for kick, snare, toms, overheads, and room mics.
- Precision Bleed Reduction: Removes or minimizes unwanted crosstalk without degrading the target drum tone.
- Transient-Safe Processing: Maintains attack, punch, and dynamic integrity.
- Phase-Aware Algorithms: Avoids smearing and phase issues often introduced by traditional gating techniques.
- Adaptive Controls: Fine-tune bleed thresholds, detection sensitivity, and spectral behavior for each drum channel.
- Intuitive Workflow: Visual feedback helps monitor bleed content and dial in the right amount of suppression.
