Remove drum bleed with iZotope RX 12 De-bleed
Izotope RxDemo summary
The narrator demonstrates the rebuilt De-bleed plugin on snare and tom tracks, showing how it removes cymbal and kick bleed while preserving the primary drum sound and ghost notes.
Step-by-step
- Open the De-bleed plugin on a drum track
- Adjust settings while monitoring the removal of kick and cymbal bleed
- Verify that ghost notes and sustain remain intact
- Bounce, render, or commit the track once tweaks are finished
Options
- Use on snare tracks to isolate from kick and cymbals
- Use on tom tracks to fix off-axis bleed
- Use on overheads to remove specific drum elements
Watch out for
- High CPU usage (up to 58% for a single instance)
- Requires bouncing or committing the track to free up system resources after processing
Tips
- Use this specifically to clean up tracks recorded with mics like the Sennheiser MD 421 that have poor off-axis rejection
