Have you ever wanted to tighten the sound of your drum loops without resorting to unnatural gates and compression? How about completely isolating your kick drum sound, or shaping your synth-bass transients without losing depth and feel? Elevate your music production with Extractor. From precise sound extraction to full-on beat transformation, get only the sounds you want from a loop or sample with Extractor.

Two extraction modes giving you instant results

Extractor is a powerful tool for extracting sounds and tightening any loop utilizing two modes: an accurate Transient detection mode with sensitivity control, and a Beats mode for tempo-synced detection. Using “Transient” mode, users can extract individual hits and de-clutter or even denoise loops. The time-sync’d “Beats” mode provides resolution options ranging from whole notes to 32nd notes for very predictable results. In addition, there are frequency-based processing options. With Single-Band Mode, users can achieve clear and accurate full-band extraction and shaping, while the Multi-Band Mode enables intelligent frequency-dependent extraction. As a bonus, a high-resolution visualizer allows you to see the original waveform and extracted waveforms together for instant visual feedback.

  • Transient Mode: Extract specific hits or tighten up complex synth and percussive patterns effortlessly.
  • Beats Mode: Sync perfectly with your DAW and isolate elements like kick drums from busy loops.

Versatile Processing Options

Choose your processing method for unparalleled results:

  • Single-Band Processing: Achieve high and instant transparency.
  • Multi-Band Processing: Enjoy intelligent frequency-based extraction that lets you favor lower or higher frequencies using a variable slider.

Automation for Ultimate Control

The best part? Everything can be automated! Try it on drums, percussive synth parts, guitars, or bass. This plugin is your secret weapon to supercharge your beat productions and mixes, adding more intensity and variation to otherwise flat and stale loops.
Extractor transforms your sound and gives you next-level control!

Get More Juice from your Tracks

Toggle between Extraction processing and Bypassed mode.

2   Squeeze any of your loops and extract samples full of definition. From 0% to 100%, move from subtle effects to tight and controlled sounds, and finally into click and transient sound design territory. This control screams to be automated! Use automation on it to thin out loops in certain sections of your song and bring them back fully when increasing intensity. Doing this will be a game changer for your workflow.

Visualize

Powerful wave form display giving you an instant point of reference when tweaking the plugin's controls. The unprocessing and incoming audio is a grey-coloured waveform while the overlayed yellow version shows you the extracted signal.

More Options for Advanced Shaping

In Transient mode, Extractor will perform its extraction based on all the transient material it detects in the incoming signal. This can work wonders on percussive and complex loops. Define the intensity of the plugin's reaction by using the added sensitivity slider.

In Beats Mode, Extractor will be in tight-locked sync with your DAW of choice. At 1/4, for example, an extraction will happen each quarter note. This can be a great setting to extract any kick drum sound from otherwise extremely busy and complex loops.

The Signal Flow

Use the Single Band mode for an Extraction happening on the full frequency spectrum at once. The Detail control in Single Band is in “Shape” mode and controls the decay shape of the single band extraction. Tweak this to make the sound tighter or more open in its response.

Extractor uses the power of mulitband processing to smartly extract and tighten sounds troughout the frequency spectrum. For example, you can extract a kick drum with only a short click at the top end but a long bassy tone at the bottom end from an otherwise noisy and complex loop. The Detail control in Single Band is in “Frequency Bias” mode and controls how tightly the different frequency bands are decaying.

At the end of the signal path is an output gain control. Use it to set a final gain staging for the plugin to make it fit in perfectly in any of your FX chains and mixes.
