Sonnox Oxford Drum Gate Plug-in Reviews
Gates are often underestimated as a simple utility processor. Still, well-executed gating can be the difference between a good recording and a great one by eliminating unwanted bleed and noise that muddy up a mix — especially on multi-mic drum setups. Understanding the importance of the humble gate and envisioning its potential, the folks at Sonnox created the highly intelligent and musical sounding Oxford Drum Gate. With smart detection, adjustable resonant decay, and dual leveler, Oxford Drum Gate is one of the most natural-sounding gates we’ve heard at Sweetwater, and we’re excited for you to listen to it too.

Finally a gate I can use
I hate gate plugins, or used to, SSL drum gate is amazing and is easy to use. This is what all gate plugins wish they were. RIP slate drum gate.
Just as intended
Works super. Removes almost all of the cymbal bleed, cleans snare and bass mics really well.
Gate!!
Best gate ever. Sounds very natural and you can make midi with it to. Total gating domination!!!
Amazing tool!
My very first impression with this one was: wow! This thing is a total game changer! I recommend sonnox drumgate totally, try by yourself and then talk me, and the crazy deal price in the SW store, insane!
Amazing Drum Gate
Wonderful!
Overall great but not a ‚miracle drug‘
I use the gate mostly on toms which I used to manually wrote automation and cut/faded them.
Without changing anything it works great already but it needs more fine tuning to not miss more quiet hits while omitting signal bleed from mainly the snare.
That said it's a lot more convenient than other gates I've used in the past!
Unbeatable at the price I got it at!
