W. A. Production, in partnership with sound engineer Emrah Çelik, has unveiled BeatQuake, a multi-effect plugin for Windows and Mac. This innovative tool is designed to revolutionize the way music producers create and manipulate sound, offering a vast array of sonic possibilities.
BeatQuake is a sonic toolkit designed to breathe life into your beats, providing a unique character and depth to your music. The plugin, developed by Emrah Çelik, an award-winning sound engineer with an extensive background in drum mixing, delivers a powerful, earth-shattering sound that enhances the impact of your kicks and snares.
The plugin’s cutting-edge algorithms are the result of Çelik’s expertise, with psychoacoustic filtering and meticulously tuned tonal controls offering a suite of powerful tools ideal for creating dancefloor hits. Despite its simple interface, BeatQuake’s potential is limitless. With 100 discrete points on every knob, users can explore over a hundred million potential sound color combinations. The plugin is not just limited to drums; it can also enhance bass lines, polish pads, and elevate vocals.
BeatQuake offers four unique control knobs, each providing a unique tonal character. Users can experiment with individual dials or combine them to create distinctive tonal blends. These include:
- Tone: Inspired by the legendary Pultec EQs and a renowned modern multiband exciter, this control adds a unique blend of classic warmth and harmonic enhancement.
- Enhance: Boosts the attack power and aggression of your beats, increasing their dynamics and delivering musically rich sub-harmonic low-end power.
- Lofi: Add tonal variation and replicate the unique texture of 12-bit samplers with a single knob, producing a wide modern LoFi effect.
- Shape: Introduces inflation, combined with a high-quality compressor algorithm. This provides precise dynamic control over fluctuating sounds, which is especially useful for 808s or highly dynamic tracks.
The plugin also features four unique psychoacoustic pre-filtering color modes: SHOCK, RIFT, TREMOR, and FAULT. These color modes, developed over two years, go beyond traditional saturation effects by preserving transients, enhancing sustain, and maintaining low-end vibrancy.
BeatQuake is built on vector graphics with a resizable interface. Users can accurately monitor their audio with the Input / Output faders and contrast different processing chains with AB comparison and copy / paste. The plugin also offers an extensive suite of presets and a powerful snapshot manager, allowing users to load presets for all kinds of drums, percussion, breakbeats, and other types of audio.
