audioD3CK has released ChopChop, a compressor effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

AudioD3CK ChopChop

ChopChop’s algorithm was originally designed to be reasonably clean while operating with a very fast attack time and classic peak detection. The result is a very flexible compressor with a distinct sound. ChopChop is best used when the compression is meant to be heard, but it can act as an invisible tool too!

ChopChop features

  • External side chain.
  • Linear domain compression for an old school sound.
  • High pass filter in side chain.
  • Range control to limit amount of gain reduction.
  • Range knee to alter character of compression range.
  • Mid/side mode.
  • Freely adjustable channel linking.
  • Adjustable compression knee.
  • Full range ratio, all the way form 1:1 to 1:infinity.
  • Flexible metering.
  • Parallel compression.

ChopChop for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available for purchase for 19 EUR (non-commercial) / 49 EUR (commercial).
