Tools For Shaping Drums

US MIXLAND releases SUBLOOM drum mixing console with a sub synthesis channel 06/09/23

MIXLAND has introduced SUBLOOM, which they describe as a new drum mixing console that features a comprehensive set of tools for shaping drums, including EQ, transient control, saturation, and an extremely flexible sub synthesis channel with innovative new "Pitch Dive" feature that emulates the natural resonant behavior of live drum heads. The SUBLOOM Kick channel features an EQ section with LPF, HPF, and 3-band EQ, as well as a transient knob and saturation knob. The SUBLOOM Sub channel features a pitch knob, attack knob, decay knob, pitch dive section, transient knob, saturation knob, and warp control. MIXLAND says that, in addition to its comprehensive feature set, SUBLOOM is also designed to be easy to use: Dial in the "raw" drum on the left side, then dial in the desired "sub" on the right side, finally blend them in together using the two channel volume faders.

A spokesperson told us, "Subloom features a clear and intuitive interface, and the presets make it easy to get started." Here's the full details direct from the company...

The secret weapon: Innovative "Pitch Dive" feature:
The SUBLOOM pitch dive section allows users to emulate the natural occurrence of live drums that resonate and descend in pitch after being struck. This is an all-new way to add depth and punch to the low end of a mix. This allows the user to dial in low end that blooms, swoops down, and dives in to hit you in the chest, all in perfect tempo with the song the user is working with.

Grammy-ready, Platinum-approved.
"SUBLOOM is the perfect tool for any mixer or producer who wants to take their drum mixes to the next level," said Jesse Ray Ernster, Grammy Award-winning mixer and co-developer of SUBLOOM. "This plugin has been a game-changer for my drum mixing over the past year, and I believe it will become an essential tool for any mixer or producer."
