Normally GBP 15 on desktop and GBP 3 on iOS, Schlap is being sold for GBP 12 (desktop) and GBP 3 (iOS) until Jan 15. It probably won’t be your thing if you are looking for a transparent compressor or an identical emulation of a particular unit, but Schlap does aggression and does it well! Better know what you’re going for in there!Īll in all, this is an interesting compressor with a fresh take on old concepts and plenty of versatility. The Ratio control operates in four ranges: 0.1:1 to 0.9:1 for expansion and gate effects 1:1 to 20:1 for standard compression ∞:1 for infinite limiting compression and -20:1 to -1:1 for characterful over-compression. An output level knob and three visualizers complete the interface. Auto-Gain and Stereo Link options are available above the sidechain section.
Another set of controls is dedicated to the sidechain signal – you can choose the internal filter or feed external audio, then apply variable high and low-pass filters. Schlap’s clean-cut GUI features Input level, Threshold, Ratio, and Knee controls for the compressor section.
This way, sudden short peaks and early transients are left uncompressed and make up for a punchy, hard-hitting sound. A program-dependent compressor automatically adjusts its attack and release settings through RMS peak detection of the input audio’s average loudness level. It’s a modern take on vintage program-dependent compressors with a user interface that looks unabashedly “digital” yet hides an analog soul. Caelum describes Schlap as a “characterful, colorful and aggressive-sounding” compressor.
