Join drum hits that were split during extraction

In the drum extraction review, play the pieces with Play Hit. If one drum was split in two, select the pieces and choose Join Hits. Check the joined hit before you add it to your kit.

This happens after extraction, while you choose which hits go into your kit. It is different from joining Chops in the main waveform.

Step by step

  1. Extract the drums

    Use Create Drum Kit > Extract from Song on a recording you have the right to use. Then look through the hits.

  2. Play the pieces

    Use Play Hit on the pieces around an attack and its tail. Do they belong to one drum?

  3. Join and check

    Select them and choose Join Hits. Listen again and trim if the hit now includes too much.

  4. Add to your kit

    Select the hits you want, check the count and choose Add to Drum Kit(s). Then play them.

Good to know

Check the start and end

A joined hit should keep the attack and tail you wanted without pulling in the next drum.

Some mixes are too busy

Joining can’t clean up a crowded mix. Keep the better piece, or use your own drum files.
