BeatQuake by W.A. Production

Elevate your tracks from flat to earth-shattering with BeatQuake by W. A. Production. This powerful multi-FX plugin is the characterful sonic toolkit you've been waiting for, meticulously designed to make your kicks crunch and your snares slam, ready to shake your music to its core.

Crafted by an Expert: BeatQuake is the brainchild of award-winning sound engineer Emrah Celik, whose extensive background includes over 300 drum mixing productions per year. His expertise has been distilled into BeatQuake's cutting-edge algorithms, featuring psychoacoustic filtering and meticulously tuned tonal controls to unlock powerful tools for dancefloor destruction.

Unleash Limitless Sonic Potential: While incredibly intuitive, BeatQuake offers limitless potential with 100 discrete points on every knob, allowing for over a hundred million potential sound color combinations. Its magic extends beyond just drums, proving highly effective for beefing up bass lines, polishing pads, and elevating vocals across all types of audio.

Four Core Controls for Distinctive Tones: Each of BeatQuake's main control knobs provides a unique tonal character, allowing for individual experimentation or combined blends:

• Tone: Achieve a smooth V-shape sound and add a unique blend of classic warmth and harmonic enhancement. This control is inspired by legendary Pultec EQs and renowned modern multiband exciters, serving as the perfect final touch for your beats.
• Enhance: Boost 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 perfectly 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, providing precise dynamic control over fluctuating sounds, especially useful for 808s or highly dynamic tracks.

Color Your Beats with Psychoacoustic Filtering: BeatQuake features 4 unique psychoacoustic pre-filtering color modes – SHOCK, RIFT, TREMOR, and FAULT – accessible via the central control. Developed over two years, these one-knob functionalities go beyond traditional saturation, preserving transients, enhancing sustain, and maintaining low-end vibrancy.

• Shock: Punches up attack and strength while keeping the low-end clean and powerful.
• Rift: Introduces a gritty, textured sound by stretching sustain and enhancing rumble.
• Tremor: Delivers immense low-end power for earth-shaking beats.
• Fault: Enhances frequencies above 60Hz, offering a clean gain boost for clarity and polish.

Intuitive Visual Feedback and Workflow: Built with vector graphics and a resizable interface, BeatQuake provides accurate audio monitoring with Input/Output faders. Experiment with confidence using AB comparison and copy/paste functions, along with undo/redo buttons to revert changes. The AGC button compensates for gain increases, and an onboard Limiter prevents clipping, ensuring a clean output.

Powerful Presets and Snapshot Management: BeatQuake includes an extensive suite of presets and a powerful snapshot manager. Easily load presets for various drums, percussion, breakbeats, and other audio types with a single click. These provide excellent starting points for tweaking, and you can save and categorize your own creations for future recall.
