What DrumSplit gives up
DrumSplit is a one-trick tool — drum separation only. iZotope RX is a complete audio repair suite with dozens of modules for noise reduction, spectral editing, dialogue isolation and forensic cleanup. Different tools, different jobs.
If you use RipX DeepRemix instead
RipX DeepRemix is a desktop application built around editing audio note by note, not around splitting a drum kit into separate parts. If you already work in RipX, you can still use DrumSplit before it: split the song into kick, snare, hi-hats, toms and cymbals first, then bring the stems you want to edit into your editor. Use Direct mode if you are starting from a drum stem you already exported.
