“Silencer does exactly what its name implies, and super well I might add. The ghostnote and the sidechain feature make it the best of many gates all in one."Sam Guaiana. The Devil Wears Prada, Silverstein, Against The Current
“Silencer is one of the best and most intuitive drum gates I’ve ever used. I highly recommend it. Great work BSA!”Andy Sneap. Killswitch Engage, Dream Theatre, Fear Factory
“This plugin really is excellent. Silencer has replaced my entire gating chain because whatever I do, nothing sounds as clean as Silencer.”Forrester Savell. Karnivool, Skyharbor, Dead Letter Circus
Cymbal bleed is the enemy of great drum mixes. Traditional gates can only help so much before the gating itself becomes obvious. Silencer is the ultimate solution, eliminating cymbal bleed while preserving the integrity of your original sound. It’s not just a gate... it will forever change the way you mix drums.
More Than Just A Gate
Unlike a traditional gate that simply reduces volume, Silencer incorporates a transparent & musical sounding gate with an advanced de-bleeding circuit. This allows you to kill all of the nasty high-frequency bleed while preserving the attack, tone and body of the original sound.
Get 2x From Your Drums
For decades, mixers have had to rely on samples and compromise their live drum mixes because of bleed. With Silencer, all that nasty bleed will disappear - so go ahead and crank that EQ, saturation and compression twice as much as before. It’s so good that your live drum tracks will sound as clean as drum samples.
Intuitive Controls, Extreme Precision
With dedicated processing for Snare Top, Snare Bottom, Kick and Toms, Silencer intelligently filters out other parts of the kit to avoid mis-triggers. Its true lookahead means the transients you want always get through undamaged. The visualizer and simplified interface allow you to dial in your de-bleeded drum track in seconds.
