It's like having a professional studio engineer next to you, guiding you through the perfect mix.

frequency finder

Your journey starts here. With a simple press of the Finder button, KickShaper intelligently identifies the dominant frequencies of your kick and instantly determines the perfect way to emphasize the tail of your kick. Of course, you can adjust it manually if necessary. This ensures that KickShaper's processing always matches the musical key of the kick.

Deboom

The centerpiece of the KickShaper is his Deboom dial. If your kick has a lot of low end and you're having trouble with distortion or your mix is overwhelming, this feature can be your lifesaver. It's more than just a low cut or compressor. Instead, Deboom cleverly shortens the low-frequency wavelengths to provide a punchy, impactful yet concise kick. These kicks work easily with earth-shaking basslines and 808s. The kick no longer dominates the entire low frequency spectrum. It blends seamlessly with the rest of the track.

Tails

KickShaper boasts a unique approach to creating kick tails, setting this plugin apart from simple sub-generators. This Tail module resonates with the filter to produce a frequency resonance that is free of any unpleasant boomy artifacts. By extracting sub-frequencies from the original kick and harmonizing them naturally, the KickShaper tail integrates with the original kick, ensuring a clean and consistent sound every time.

thumb & click

The Thump knob analyzes low frequency wavelengths and fine-tunes the kick's sustain, affecting only the low end while preserving the core of the kick. KickShaper's Click module introduces advanced transient shaping algorithms to handle unpredictable kick patterns, rapid-fire kicks, and varying tempos. By analyzing high-frequency wavelengths, precise transient shaping is achieved, making KickShaper your go-to plugin for catching transients.

tone & enhance

KickShaper's Tone section is made specifically for kick processing. The Cut knob is used for subtle trimming of the bass, the Low knob is used to add punch, the Mid knob is used to adjust muddiness, and the High knob is used to precisely control click.

The Depth control applies analog hardware convolution to enhance the kick, making it louder and adding depth while reducing excessive highs. The heat warms up the kick and provides subtle saturation. Punch recreates console compression and is finely tuned for use with kicks. The clip squashes the peak of the kick, ensuring punch and impact even with a small speaker.

Visual feedback and comparison

KickShaper is built on vector graphics with a resizable interface. Live audio is displayed in the central window, showing you exactly what's happening to the signal passing through the plugin in real time. This allows precise monitoring at every step of the chain. For those who like to experiment, contrast different processing chains with AB Compare and undo changes using the undo/redo buttons.

KickShaper includes a huge number of factory presets suitable for all types of kick processing across multiple genres. Use the provided parameters as a starting point for your own kick sculpting adventure.
