KickShaper
Pump & Thump

Kick drums form the bedrock of most music, but without a robust foundation, a mix can fall apart. We get it? sometimes youre working with kick samples that just dont cut the mustard. They might be compressed to death, lacking fundamental frequencies, or just sound wimpy and lifeless. Thats where KickShaper swoops in to save the day.

Whether youre producing EDM, hip-hop, rock, or any genre under the sun, KickShaper is here to make your kicks punch harder and sound better than ever before. Weve captured the power of cutting-edge algorithms, painstakingly tested on thousands of kick samples by award-winning audio engineer, Emrah Celik. With KickShaper, youre not just using a plugin; youre harnessing the collective knowledge of top-notch sound design wizards.

KickShaper is crafted with YOU in mind, ensuring your kicks reach their maximum potential. The plugin delivers natural-sounding tails, well-defined transients, and depth - all while maximizing the digital realms full dynamic range.

Frequency Finder

Your journey starts here. With the simple press of the Finder button KickShaper intelligently identifies the dominant frequency of your kick, instantly determining the perfect way to enhance your kicks tail. Of course, this can be manually adjusted if needed. This ensures that KickShapers processing always aligns with your kicks musical key.

Deboom

At the heart of KickShaper is the Deboom dial. If your kicks have tons of low end and struggle with distortion or overpower your mix, this feature is your salvation. Its not just another low-cut or compressor. Instead, Deboom ingeniously shortens the wavelength of low frequencies, giving you kicks that are punchy and impactful, yet concise. These kicks will effortlessly work together with your earth-shaking basslines and 808s. No longer will your kicks dominate the entire low-frequency spectrum; theyll blend seamlessly with the rest of your track.

Tails

KickShaper boasts an exclusive approach to crafting kick tails, setting the plugin apart from simple sub-generators. This Tail module resonates with the filters, producing frequency resonance thats entirely devoid of nasty boomy artifacts. By extracting the sub frequencies from the original kick and naturally harmonizing them, KickShaper tails integrate with your original kick, ensuring a clean and cohesive sound every time.
Thump & Click

The Thump knob analyzes low-frequency wavelengths and fine-tunes your kicks sustain, exclusively impacting the low end while preserving the kicks core. KickShapers Click module introduces an advanced transient shaping algorithm that handles unpredictable kick patterns, rapid-fire kicks, and varying tempos. By analyzing high-frequency wavelengths, precise transient shaping is acheived, making KickShaper your go-to plugin for catching transients.

Tone & Enhance

The Depth control applies analog hardware convolution to enhance your kicks, making them larger, adding depth while taming excessive highs. Heat warms up kicks, introducing subtle saturation.
