MDrumLeveler

MDrumLeveler is a unique dynamics processor specifically designed for percussive materials, primarily drums, but it can be used on any

rhythmical audio. Similarly to compressor and expanders it manipulates level, but it works in quite a different manner. Traditional dynamic

processors detect levels of input samples and transform them depending on the transformation curve. This means that the gain is changing

on every sample. This can be very well used to shape the sound itself, but it is hard to make it transparent if, for example, you want to level

drum hits.

MDrumLeveler on the other hand analyzes the incoming audio and detects events (drum hits for example) in it. It then detects the level of

each event and transforms it in some way. The typical use is to even out drum hits. No drummer's performance is perfect, each hit has a

different velocity, and differences in levels are even exaggerated by the recording equipment. But there is a very high standard for

perfection in performances for most modern styles. Vocalists regularly use automatic tuner, drummers have MDrumLeveler now.

Basics of MDrumLeveler

MDrumLeveler is very easy to use, however for some specific materials, especially those with lots of leakage ("bleed") between drums the

work can get problematic. But it's different from what you know about compressors for example, so we need to start from the basics.

Event detection

Most of the settings can be made within the MDrumLeveler's analyzer. The first stage of the processing is event detection. An event can be

anything from a drum hit to a guitar strum. The detector is pre-processing the signal to to make it easier to distinguish these events. The

"detector signal" is displayed as a black graph in the analyzer and usually has the typical shape of a series of hills, each of which can be an

event.

Your first task is to set the red Threshold marker. Any hill reaching above the threshold will be considered an event. There is also a

Threshold Max marker, which controls the maximum level (height of the hill), but you'll rarely need this one.

Please note that the following assumes that the factory default colours are used for the graphs; they can all be changed, saved as presets

etc.

For every event the plugin draw 2 dots, a red one and a black one. The Red dot indicates the original (input) event level and the Black dot

is the calculated output event level. Note that these levels are not related to the black graph at all. The detector signal (black graph) is used

only for event detection and calculation of the event levels is a very different story. You don't need to think about it much, just don't be
