New Workflow for Low-End Sound Design
W. A. Production introduces BassShaper, a specialized plugin designed to address common bass processing challenges. This tool combines precise control over low-end frequencies with an intuitive interface, making it valuable for producers across all experience levels.
Key Processing Features
BassShaper incorporates several targeted processing modules. The Deboom and Demud controls work with amplitude-based and pitch tracking algorithms to clean up problematic frequencies and clarify note transitions. The Level control utilizes pink noise modulation to maintain consistent bass presence throughout tracks.
The Punch and Fade controls offer precise transient shaping. Punch focuses on the initial milliseconds of each note, while Fade allows detailed control over sustain portions, enabling better integration with other mix elements.
Enhanced Low-End Control
The Subtone section generates complementary frequencies both above and below the original signal. Users can add depth with the SUB control or enhance presence using the HIGH control, creating bass sounds that translate effectively across different playback systems.
Professional Sound Shaping
The EQ section divides the signal into three linear bands with proportional saturation capabilities. Additional enhancement options include the 670-style Press compression, analog-modeled Depth control, and Heat saturation. The Mix parameter enables parallel processing possibilities.
Visual Feedback and Workflow
The resizable interface features real-time visual feedback of audio processing. Users can utilize AB comparison functionality and undo/redo options while working with the included factory presets designed for various musical styles.
Available formats: VST, AU, AAX, VST3
Price: $39.90 ($12.00 with current discount)
