Pitch Control
Drumagog's pitch control enables adjustment of the sample's pitch by +/-100%. This is a useful feature for tuning the drums to the accompanying tracks.

The pitch control is standard in the Pro and Platinum versions only.

Pre-Triggering Filter
A flexible filter is provided to filter out unwanted audio from a track before triggering. For instance, a snare track might contain undesirable bass drum bleed. In this case, the filter could be set to highpass to only allow the snare audio to pass through. This technique greatly reduces any chances for mis-triggering when bleed is present on the source track.
Left/Right Hand Support
This feature allows Drumagog to automatically alternate between left and right samples (if the loaded gog file supports them), when it detects the original drummer's speed is fast enough to warrant an extra hand. This makes the drum replacement sound very realistic durring rolls.
Auto Sample Rate Conversion
When this feature is enabled, Drumagog will automatically convert the sample rate of the samples being used to match the sample rate of your project.
VU Meters
Drumagog features accurate, responsive VU meters for both input and output levels.

Auto-Ducking
Sometimes it's not enough to just replace the drums on a track, as there are often other tracks that still contain bleed from the original drum. Drumagog's auto-ducking solves this problem. For instance, if a snare drum is being replaced, and the original snare can still be heard through the overhead tracks, Drumagog would be inserted into each of the overhead tracks. Then, the two overhead Drumagogs would be set to receive auto-ducking information from the main Drumagog instance on the snare track. Every time the snare plays, the two Drumagogs on the overhead tracks will automatically "duck" the audio by a set amount (usually 2 or 3 dB). This results in the original sound effectively being removed from all the tracks on which it appears, without affecting any of the other sounds on those tracks. The original sound is then replaced with the sample(s) by Drumagog. The combined audio sounds flawless.

Polyphony
Drumagog provides a choice of polyphony modes: 16-note, 256 note, or choke polyphony. Choke polyphony mode is useful for cymbals, while 16 and 256-note polyphony modes are great for snares and other instruments. Choke polyphony is also useful for replacing recorded drum machine tracks, as it allows for the original drum machine's feel to be maintained. "Machine gun" snare replacements used in dance and hip hop tracks can still stutter like the original.

GOG Sample Format
Drumagog introduces it's own multisample format called GOG. In one GOG file, Drumagog packs up to 48 multisamples, and all associated settings. The GOG file format allows Drumagog users to author, arrange and save their own sample sets in a single file. This makes accessing and transferring samples between projects simple, and allows a user to permanently record in the GOG file all of the triggering information and parameters associated with a sample set.

Blend Control
Drumagog's blend control provides control of the mix between the original audio and the replaced samples.
