Caelum Audio Schlap v1.1.0 / v1.0.7 [WiN, MacOSX]

If you want your tracks to be energetic, in-your-face and bold, make 'em "Schlap". Schlap is a characterful, colourful and aggressive sounding program-dependent compressor. It takes inspiration from hardware RMS compressors of the past and evolves them into a modern setting. The compressor uses a program-dependent attack and release influenced by old hardware making 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?" Features - Aggressive, in your face compression. - Program dependent - attack and release settings are automatic. - 4 ratio styles: expansion and gating, standard compression, infinite limiting compression and negative over-compression. - Optional external side-chain input. - Sidechain filtering. - Inspired by old hardware.
