DrumFix

DrumFix is a stand-alone Windows based application which allows the percussive hits in a mono WAV or AIF file, such as a snare or kick drum track, to be replaced with the audio from another mono WAV or AIF file such as a professionally recorded sample.

Velocity Maps can be created and saved independantly with upto 4 velocity layers so that all the accenting in the original audio file can be maintained. The Velocity Map can then be recalled later and applied to any suitable audio file. A collection of maps covering kick drum, snare drum and tom-toms are supplied. Facilities are provided for automatically detecting percussive hits in a file as well as identifying them manually.

DrumFix is not a plug-in. It is a stand-alone offline processing application. Believe that this is by far the best way of undertaking this kind of processing since realtime plug-ins can easily misinterrpret complex audio files and so give undesired results. Version 3 allows hits to be exported as a standard MIDI file and also supports AIF files.
