Every element of a drum performance carries its own character, with some parts short and impactful while others take their time to develop. Traditional noise gates treat all frequencies uniformly, often forcing compromises that limit creative control over the drum's sonic narrative. This can lead to a mix that loses the intended expression of each drum element.

MGB offers a unique approach by allowing independent control over the timing of each frequency band within a drum sound. For example, you can let the low frequencies of a tom resonate fully while quickly muting the higher frequencies, preserving the attack and texture without unwanted cymbal bleed interfering with the mix. This eliminates the need for complex chains of gates and sidechains, providing a streamlined, intuitive tool for precise frequency-specific gating.

Beyond gating, each frequency band in MGB can be individually mixed and processed, letting you enhance specific tonal qualities without affecting others. Adjustable crossover points and controls for hold, release, and mute per band empower you to carve out space in your mix, reducing bleed and clutter effortlessly. This makes MGB especially valuable for challenging drum recordings where close mic bleed and overlapping sounds complicate the mixing process.
