MDrumReplacer: Drum-Hit Replacement Plugin by MeldaProduction Free Download

The detector is built around the hits you want to change. You point it at the events to replace, and it locates them in both single instrument recordings and mixed drum sessions. The learning feature examines the audio material and sets the resonators on its dominant frequencies. A listen mode lets you audition only the filtered signal, so you can fine-tune the filters before committing.

You can replace a hit entirely or blend the original with the replacement sample. Blending is useful when you want to keep the character of a live performance and add a layer of something more electronic, for example a kick with extra electronic flavor.

Replacement sounds come from the MDrummer sound engine, which includes synthesized drums and multi-sampled kits meant to keep the feel of the original performance. The plugin can draw on MDrummer multi-sample libraries, including Drum Empire 2020. The developer notes a total of 80 gigabytes of samples available.

MDrumReplacer also includes the MDrumLeveler plugin. The detector can measure the level of an event and apply a gain correction, which can make a drummer's performance sound more consistent without turning it robotic.
