Schlap AUv3 vs KNOCK

Schlap is a characterful, colourful and aggressive sounding program-dependent AUv3, IAA & standalone compressor. It takes inspiration from hardware RMS compressors of the past and evolves them into a modern setting. If you want your tracks to be energetic, in-your-face and bold, make ‘em ‘Schlap’. The compressor uses a program-dependent attack and release influenced by old hardware which makes the compression sound characterful and dynamic. The RMS detection means that Schlap detects the average loudness of a signal, resulting in sudden short peaks being uncompressed so that they can attack hard and sound heavy hitting. Also inherently in RMS detection, there is a slight delay in compression which allows the initial, early transients to sneak through uncompressed so they keep their punch. You’ve got a safe, controlled track you think you’re happy with, but you have to ask yourself… ‘Does it Schlap?’ Schlap is both a stand-alone application as well as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as GarageBand.

KNOCK is the last plugin you will ever need to make your drums slap and punch through your mix. This plugin was meticulously crafted by platinum producer & award winning sound designer, DECAP. It is inspired by the signature sound of his popular drum kit series DRUMS THAT KNOCK, which has helped shaped the sonics of modern music. KNOCK is optimized for extreme ease of use for beginners and professionals alike. Use KNOCK to make your drums slap, and take you to the next level. Whether you are new to producing, or a seasoned pro, KNOCK will seamlessly fit into your workflow.
