Easily craft the kick drums of your dreams with Chop Suey from tracktion. This plug-in instrument for the VST3 and AU platforms was specifically created to conjure up fat electronic kicks and offers a 3-stage, time-based sound engine that allows you to customize the tone by combining different elements in the transient, body, and tail sections. Easily drag and drop samples into the sections and use the intuitive editing functions to precisely fine-tune the results for hard-hitting, impactful kicks with plenty of low end to move even the largest club systems.

• We’ve all been there. You browse through hundreds of kicks, but nothing really works. One has a nice transient, another one has a cool punch in the face, and the third has the perfect boomy tail. But once you layer them the result is a weak muddy mess; layering kicks is rarely successful.
• Chop Suey is the solution; instead of layering, the elements are sequenced. This method eliminates phasing issues while allowing the combined kick to maintain the crisp transient, the punch of the body, and the characteristic tail.

• Shaping kicks with a compressor, saturator, or transient designer can be a tedious task. These tools affect the whole kick, making it impossible to simply edit the transient without impacting the body. The workable ranges are tiny and your options are massively limited.
• With Chop Suey you can always see what you are doing. As the first few milliseconds of a kick are so crucial for the perception, you can visually stretch this area to allow for fine editing.

• You can shape the sound with surgical precision using curves. This allows you to edit exactly what and where you want to shape the sound.
• Editing the transient will not affect the punch or the tail. Normal (digital) filters are often not suited for editing kicks, as they don’t respond fast enough to parameter changes.
• Chop Suey’s filter has been designed specifically for editing kicks; it reacts extremely fast to rapid changes of cutoff or resonance without introducing zipper noise or artefacts.

• Chop Suey has been designed in close collaboration with producers and artists across the dance music scene. Drawing from decades of experience the workflow has been optimized to make this plug-in a workhorse for professional kick design.
• For example, if the Punch Protect function is activated the important frequencies below 150 Hz that are crucial for the punch are protected from the filter. This lets you shape your sound without ever having to worry about weakening the low-end punch.
• The software runs as a plug-in instrument in Mac/Windows DAWs that support the AU and VST3 platforms, making it easily accessible to a wide range of musicians, producers, DJs, and sound designers.
