ReStem 2 includes Drumagog’s replacement engine on every stem: load a sample (.gog or WAV), set sensitivity, and blend replaced against original. Because replacement runs on the **separated** stem, it triggers off just that drum.

Tips:

- **Blend** is your friend: 100% replacement can sound too clean; 50–70% usually works well.
- Replacement with **no sample loaded** simply passes the stem through dry.
- .gog libraries from Drumagog work as-is.
