Trim is a mono or multi-mono utility plugin for simple gain attenuation and channel control in Avid systems. It offers precise level adjustment from –∞ dB to +6 dB or +12 dB, plus phase invert and mute functions, making it ideal for DSP-efficient individual channel muting on multi-channel tracks where standard track mute buttons are insufficient.

DeBleed:Drums

Acon Digital

DeBleed:Drums is a plugin designed to remove unwanted mic spill and bleed from drum recordings in real-time during mixing. It is designed to isolate individual drum kit elements while protecting transients, offering a transparent alternative to conventional noise gates that often compromise drum character. The plugin streamlines professional drum mixing by delivering clean, tight drum sounds without the artifacts or missing notes associated with traditional gating.
