Silencer

Silencer by Black Salt Audio is a drum-processing plugin that removes cymbal bleed from live drum recordings while preserving the natural attack, tone, and body of the original sound. Unlike a standard gate, it combines a transparent gate with dedicated de-bleeding circuitry tuned by ear, so you can eliminate high-frequency bleed without artifacts. Predefined modes for snare top, snare bottom, kick, and toms intelligently filter out other kit pieces to prevent mis-triggers, while mode-dependent lookahead ensures transients pass through intact. A ghost note toggle lets low-level hits through for easy automation, and sidechain support opens up creative routing options. With a waveform visualizer and adjustable reduction amount, you can dial in clean, sample-like drum tracks in seconds. It suits hobby and professional producers working with live drums in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic who want to push EQ, saturation, and compression harder without bleed getting in the way.
