Stem separation and sensitivity control

Remix:Drums splits a drum loop or recording into six stems: kick, snare, hi-hat, cymbals, toms and other. Processing happens in real time, so you hear changes as you make them rather than waiting for an offline render.

The Sensitivity control is the main tool for shaping the separation. Acon Digital describes it as a way to fine tune the drum sound quickly. Output level meters on each stem show what each change does to the mix.

DAW automation is supported, so stem levels can be moved over time. In supported hosts, the plugin also offers multiple audio outputs for routing stems separately.

Who it is for and what you need to run it

Remix:Drums suits remixers, producers and DJs who want to rebalance a drum loop, pull out a kick for emphasis, or remove a snare or cymbal entirely. Because it works on any loop or recording, it is useful when original stems are not available.

The plugin is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS. It needs a compatible host application, such as Pro Tools 12 or higher for AAX, and runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It is licensed perpetually, with no subscription required, and a free trial is available.
