...now with support for BFD!

Drumagog Platinum is a plug-in that automatically replaces drum tracks with a vast array of other samples. This latest version of Drumagog incorporates support for BFD. Engineers and producers worldwide use Drumagog to fix and enhance existing drum tracks. Drumagog is extremely easy to use. Just insert it onto a drum track and select your favorite sample. Drumagog Platinum does the rest. For advanced drum replacing, Drumagog is packed with powerful features for the ultimate in control. Drumagog Platinum comes complete with a drum sample collection containing hundreds of samples to get you going.

WaveMachine Labs Drumagog Platinum at a Glance:

• Makes replacing drum sounds a breeze!
  
• New features including VST, RTAS, and AU support
  
• Multisample support for maximum realism
  
• Unique visual triggering feature
  
• Stealth mode allows original audio to pass unchanged until trigger threshold is reached
  
• Dynamic tracking adjusts volume based on incoming signal

Makes replacing drum sounds a breeze!
Drumagog Platinum's advanced triggering engine makes drum replacing a breeze. It accurately tracks the incoming audio and replaces even the most detailed drum nuances with ease. In addition to the basic controls to adjust input, output, and triggering parameters, Drumagog Platinum features several controls on its advanced page for custom tuning of the overall triggering process. Drumagog Platinum introduces a totally new, re-designed triggering engine for unparalleled triggering accuracy. The following modes are available:

• Simple Triggering Mode - This mode is recommended if minimizing CPU usage is a priority. It works well for all but the most difficult tracks.
  
• Advanced Triggering Mode - The advanced triggering mode provides the best triggering performance Drumagog Platinum has to offer. It features a smart algorithm which minimizes false triggering and maximizes sensitivity. It's particularly useful on difficult tracks.
  
• Live Triggering Mode: This zero-latency mode is designed for use in a live Drumagog setup. For example, when using Drumagog Platinum as an insert on the main console in a live concert performance, or using Drumagog Platinum as a "drum brain" for drum trigger pads. However, it doesn't offer the same triggering quality as the other modes, and is only recommended for use in situations that demand zero latency.

Multisample support for maximum realism
Drumagog Platinum supports dynamic, random and positional multisamples for the ultimate in acoustic realism. Each instrument can contain several dynamic multisamples, representing distinct volume levels. Drumagog will automatically choose from one of these samples to match the incoming audio volume perfectly. Random multisamples are also supported, allowing Drumagog Platinum to randomly choose between two or more sets of samples of the same volume. Using random multisamples allows a level of realism previously unattainable with other samplers. In addition to dynamic and random samples, Drumagog Platinum also features positional multisamples, where different areas of a drum or cymbal are represented by different samples. All three of these sample types can be combined for a single sound resulting in a very complete representation of a drum or instrument. With Drumagog Platinum's advanced multisample support, even complex drum rolls sound realistic.

Drumagog Platinum introduces a new feature called positional multisamples. Drums can now be multisampled at different stick positions. This allows the user to "dial in" the perfect stick hit position when replacing drums. For instance, if a part of the song calls for a bell sound from the ride cymbal, the user simply adjusts the position control to achieve the perfect stick position.

Unique visual triggering feature
Drumagog Platinum includes a visual triggering feature that simplifies the adjustment of the triggering controls. A scrolling, real-time waveform display is shown, with the triggering controls (sensitivity, resolution) superimposed on top of the waveform. This provides a visual indication of exactly which incoming hits will trigger Drumagog Platinum. For example, the sensitivity control is represented as a horizontal line that can be moved up or down, while the audio waveform scrolls from right to left. As the incoming audio scrolls past, it's easy to see which audio impulses will trigger Drumagog Platinum and which won't. All the audio above the line will cause a trigger and the audio below it will be ignored. The incoming audio that scored a "hit" is displayed as a white dot, making it easy to see a history of which hits caused Drumagog Platinum to trigger.

Stealth Mode
Stealth mode is a powerful feature that allows all the original audio to pass through unchanged until the trigger threshold is reached. This is especially useful in tracks that contain both a snare and a hi-hat on a single track. Drumagog Platinum will pass the hi-hat through, quickly crossfade into the replaced snare sample when the snare drum is heard, then crossfade back into the hi-hat again. The whole operation is so seamless that often it's hard to tell Drumagog Platinum's actually on.

Dynamic Tracking
Drumagog Platinum automatically tracks the incoming drum hits and adjusts the volume of the samples it plays according to the volume of the original hits. Sometimes however, it's desirable to control the dynamics. Drumagog Platinum provides a dynamic tracking control that allows adjustment of how Drumagog Platinumtracks the dynamics. This feature can be used to add a solid feel to an overly dynamic performance without the side effects imparted by traditional audio compression.
