croquesolid Drum Processor Plugin

With dedicated and curated modes for kick, snare/toms, and room/overhead/drum bus, croquesolid applies carefully tuned internal settings to each module (TOURAGE DSP calls them sections):

• Deep, punchy kick thump.
• In-your-face snares, pounding rack and floor toms.
• Inflated, explosive room ambience.
• Cowbell, at your own risk.

Core features (dedicated sections):

• Smart gating and bleed reduction.
• Trigger/replacer, with multi-layered acoustic-kit sample library (optional download, license included with plugin purchase), expandable via user samples (oneshots or multilayer).
• Stereo-width (M/S) processor.
• Attack (transient shaping).
• Dynamic EQ (expansion & ducking), including auto-scanning of the most dominant frequencies.
• Compressor: selectable 'opto' & 'slam' analogue compression mode, inspired by the 2 most iconic hardware devices, curated for optimal results depending on the selected global mode (kick, snare/tom or room/bus signals).
• 'flavour': selectable analogue-circuit simulation of tape, class-A tube stage, or dual-band exciter.
