Dawesome (Tracktion Software) – Chop Suey v1.50 for WiN

Chop Suey is a kick creation and processing tool that offers an unusual approach to the problem of combining multiple kick layers. You’ve probably encountered this: you browse through hundreds of kicks, but none really fit. One has a great transient, another delivers a powerful punch, and a third has a perfect booming tail. But put them all together, and the result turns into a weak and muddy mess. Layering kicks rarely produces a good result. Chop Suey offers a solution: instead of layering kicks on top of each other, their individual elements are arranged sequentially. This approach eliminates phase issues while allowing the final kick to retain a clear transient, a powerful main part, and a distinctive tail.

• Sequencing instead of layering – individual parts of the kicks are arranged sequentially
• Transient control – you can preserve the attack of one sample
• Punch and body – combine different characteristics of several kicks
• Getting rid of phase conflicts – elements do not sound at the same time, so the problem of phase addition is significantly reduced
• Experiment with different kicks – you can create completely new kick variations from existing samples
• Suitable for Techno, House, EDM, Drum & Bass, Electro and other electronic music, where a high-quality kick is the basis of the track
