Inside Ableton Live.

It can add crunch, shape how sharply drums hit, and add deep bass. It works inside Ableton Live; it is not a separate plugin you can open in FL Studio or Logic.

Across your music apps.

You can use Drum Breaker in FL Studio, Ableton, Logic and other compatible apps. It also has tape-style wobble and a rough, old-sampler sound.

It is another way to work on your drums, not a copy of Drum Buss. The same knob position will not give you the same sound.

Try a little warmth and wobble. Keep the snare clear.

Happy already? Keep it.

If Drum Buss gives you the sound you want, there is no need to replace it.

Try Drum Breaker if you want its extra effects or want to keep using one plugin when you switch music apps.

Questions people ask

Can I open Drum Buss in FL Studio?

No. It is an Ableton Live effect. Drum Breaker is a separate plugin that works in FL Studio and other compatible music apps.

Will Drum Breaker sound exactly the same?

No. They have different sounds and controls. Try the free trial on your own beat.

Should I buy another plugin if Drum Buss already works for me?

You may not need one. Keep using what helps you make music.
