W. A. Production NoizzerMake Some Noise Punchy drums and crisp percussion are the heartbeat of every great track. But sometimes your snares might lack snap, or those hi-hats just don't cut through the mix. Don't spend hours tweaking transients and layering audio - just reach for Noizzer, the noise-layering secret sauce for giving your beats that extra snap, crackle and pop. Clever music producers have been manually pulling off this trick for years, crafting complex white noise profiles and using side-chain gating to blend them into their drums. Now Noizzer puts that entire process at your fingertips in one simple, powerful plugin by intelligently injecting noise into your signal in a musical way. Noizzer adds brand-new frequency content that wasn't there before - fattening, sharpening, and energizing your sound in seconds. Simply activate Noizzer on any percussion track, adjust a few parameters, and listen as your beats transform from mid to massive. Noizzer is designed for speed with inbuilt presets that take just a few tweaks to transform basic-bitch beats to head-turning hits. Perfect for producers of any genre who need quick, effective drum enhancement without endless menu-diving. Shape, Snap & Sustain That big ol' knob in the centre adjusts the power of Noizzer, introducing more noise to the signal as you crank it up. The Listen mode solos the noise layer, letting you preview the noise signal before adding it to your drums. Activate Sustain Mode for longer rich hits, which is also perfect for keeping fast, repeated notes tight and consistent. The Decay knob sets how long the noise rings out, going from ultra-tight clicks to more splashy sustains. Add instant attack with the Transient control, injecting extra front-end punch to your hits. Filter & Flavor Noizzer goes far beyond a plain burst of white noise. It's a tone-shaping tool that lets you blend texture into your drums like a seasoned engineer. The Character selector opens up a palette of unique noise profiles, from silky hiss to gritty crackle, to match the vibe of your track with precision. Shape the sound further with high-pass and low-pass filters, trimming away sub-bass rumble or shaving off brittle highs. The end result is a noise layer that locks into your percussion so naturally, it feels like it was recorded that way from the start. Visual Feedback & Comparison Noizzer is built on vector graphics with a resizable interface. A live spectrum is displayed at the top, to help you identify frequency bands and show exactly what's happening to the signal as it travels through the plugin in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring at every step of the chain. For those who like to experiment, contrast different processing chains with AB comparison and copy / paste. Use the undo / redo buttons to revert any changes. Presets Noizzer includes a huge number of factory presets, covering subtle transient shaping to fizzy distortion, and everything in between. Use the provided parameters as starting points to enhance any kind of percussion, bringing the best out of your sounds and productions. W. A. Production are real-life producers making creative plugins to help you achieve studio quality processing quickly and easily. Enjoy. Features: Percussive enhancement plugin via surgically shaped noise injection. Solo noise layer with Listen mode. Sustain mode for extended hits. Decay and Transient envelope shaping. Character selector for multiple noise flavors. High-pass & Low-pass filtering. Independent Input & Output gain. Frequency spectrum monitoring. AB comparison & Undo / Redo. Resizable interface.
