Tighten the timing. Keep the pocket.

Editing a full kit means finding hits through bleed, checking fills and keeping the microphones together. Krit takes on the timing and level work so you can get back to the mix.

A late hit needs correcting. A deliberate push gives the part its pocket. Krit uses your tempo and the surrounding performance to decide what moves.

Choose Natural, Tight or Very tight. Keep the drummer’s feel is on by default, and you can compare the edit with the original at any point.

  • Timing corrections. Hits that drift from your tempo move onto it.
  • Feel preserved. A section the whole kit plays ahead stays ahead.
  • Original available. Switch back to the recording at any point.
Edit in the app: the lanes lined up, two spots to check, and what changed: 214 hits lined up, 61 volume changes, and V1 and P2 staying 6 ms ahead of the beat.
What changed in the example session: 214 hits lined up and 61 volume changes, while verse 1 and the second pre-chorus keep the 6 ms push the whole kit plays there.

Neural Hearing finds the hits.

Mic bleed and cymbal wash can make a waveform difficult to read. Neural Hearing is Krit’s trained listening model: it detects drum hits within the multitrack recording, giving the timing engine the events it needs to make the edit.

Bar 52 on the left overhead mic: a crash on the downbeat rings through the bar, and the snare on beat 4 sits inside its wash. Under the waveform, the hits found in it: kick on beats 1, 3 and 5, snare on beat 4 with two quiet ghost notes, hi-hat on beats 2 to 6, and the crash on beat 1.

The snare, inside the crash

An illustration: one bar on an overhead mic, and the hits reported for it, one row per drum.

  • Neural transient detection

    Finds drum attacks within the recorded kit, including passages with bleed and overlapping cymbals.

  • Tempo-aware editing

    Uses your session tempo to edit timing. The tightness setting and feel control shape how far the performance moves towards it.

  • Flagged hits for review

    When a stroke has more than one possible reading, Krit prepares alternatives and marks the spot for you to hear.

Every mic moves together.

When Krit moves a hit, every mic carrying it moves by the same amount. The relative timing between close mics, overheads and rooms stays as recorded.

One kick at bar 52.5 on six mics, Kick In to Room Far, moved 5.7 ms earlier onto the beat. Each mic's copy arrives at the same delay after the close mic as before: 1.3, 4.4, 4.7, 8.7 and 14.6 ms.
Kick, bar 52.5 0.0 ms from the beat

Same movement across the mics. Recorded delays preserved. An illustration drawn from the example session’s kick at bar 52.5.

  • Phase-coherent multitrack editing

    One coordinated edit across the microphones of a hit.

  • No time-stretching

    Krit moves the recorded audio without stretching it.

Two spots to check in Edit: a snare at bar 52 with Keep as Played and Move It, and a tom fill at bar 88 that could be 16ths or triplets.
Two spots in the example session: the snare at bar 52, which may be late on purpose and was left as played, and a tom fill that could be 16ths or triplets.

You have the final say.

Switch between Original audio and Edited audio. Hear the alternatives at a flagged spot, accept Krit’s choice or use Keep as Played. Nudge a hit by hand when you want a different result.

Back into your session.

Bring in every drum channel from the song and provide the tempo. Krit analyses the recording, prepares the edit and exports WAVs for your DAW.

  1. Tracks: 43 drum tracks found, with two questions first: where the bridge delay track starts, and whether an FX drum loop is part of the drums.

    Tracks and tempo

    Import WAV or AIFF files with your session’s tempo map, a fixed BPM or bar-start tempo changes.

  2. Analyse: the app's estimate of the time until you can edit, How tight set to Tight, and Keep the drummer's feel switched on.

    Analyse and review

    Choose how tight to go, run the analysis and listen to the result. Review any flagged hits before export.

  3. Export: a folder of WAVs named like the originals, each ending in _edit.

    Export

    Get edited WAVs with the original sample rate, bit depth, channel count, start and length, plus the tempo markers and edit list.

Works with multitrack drums recorded to a click.

Know where your audio goes.

Krit uses encrypted cloud analysis. Listening and editing run on your computer, including offline after analysis.

  1. Upload

    Upload starts with Analyse.

    An encrypted copy of your drum tracks is uploaded when you press Analyse.

  2. Processing

    Session names stay local.

    File, track, song and session names are excluded from the upload. Each channel is identified by a number and its drum role.

  3. Deletion

    The processing copy is deleted.

    It is deleted after analysis unless you choose to share that song to improve Krit.

  4. Sharing

    Sharing is your choice.

    Sharing is off by default. You choose which songs, if any, to share.

Questions

Is Krit a DAW plug-in?

Krit works with exported audio files. Bring in the drum channels from your DAW, then place the edited WAVs back at the start of the session.

Can I change how tight the drums are?

Yes. Choose Natural, Tight or Very tight. Keep the drummer’s feel is on by default.

What if I prefer the original hit?

Use Keep as Played or reject the change. You can compare the original and edited audio and nudge individual hits yourself.

Does it work with songs recorded without a click?

Krit needs a known tempo and drums recorded to a click. It does not guess a tempo for a freely played performance.

Try the edit on a session you know. Compare it with the original and decide how tight you want to go.
