Drum Kit Maker FAQ

Yes. Drum Kit Maker is designed to isolate a drum stem before detecting individual hits. Separation quality depends on the source mix, so some material may need editing.

It classifies detected hits into kick, snare, and hi-hat folders. Classification is automatic but not guaranteed to be perfect.

It imports WAV, MP3, and M4A and exports 24-bit WAV one-shots into kick, snare, and hi_hat folders.

The exported files are standard WAV files. You can use them in DAWs and samplers that support standard 24-bit WAV audio; check your software’s import documentation when in doubt.

Audio processing runs locally on your Windows PC or Mac. Your audio is not uploaded by the app for processing.

No. Version 1.0.0 includes standalone Windows and Apple Silicon Mac applications. Exported standard WAV files can be loaded into compatible DAWs and samplers.

Clear drum transients and less crowded mixes generally give the system more useful material. Results vary, and no separation or classification system succeeds on every source.

The workflow supports importing, editing, and combining kits so you can review and organize the resulting samples.

Purchasers can access the current Windows installer, Mac DMG, and receipts through the Polar Customer Portal. Future versions are included under the planned one-time-purchase license.

The Windows installer uses a TuneMill Audio self-signed certificate, so SmartScreen may warn or block it. Windows and Apple Silicon Mac downloads are provided through Polar after purchase. Available artifact details are shown on the product page.
