Description
Every mix engineer knows the drum chain: transient shaper, saturation, sub reinforcement, high-frequency sweetening, clipper. Five plugins, five interfaces, five times the gain-staging – and five times the recall headache when the client asks for “the kick from version 3.” Knock Audio KNOCK, created by producer and sound designer DECAP, collapses that entire chain into one recallable plugin with five purpose-built stages: Punch, Saturate, Sub, Air and Clip.
At 73% off (€39.99 instead of €149), it costs less than any single premium processor in the chain it replaces – and it recalls instantly, every session. Full plugin, your own license key, a secure download link sent to your email, clear installation steps.
Replace the chain, keep the control
Each KNOCK stage does one job properly. Punch is a focused transient shaper – dial in attack so kicks cut and snares snap without touching the body of the sound. Saturate offers Soft, Medium and Hard harmonic modes with loudness compensation, so you add density and character while judging tone honestly. Sub detects kick activity and layers a pitch-adjustable sub tone – tunable to the track’s key, which is precisely how professionals reinforce weak kick low-end. Clip finishes with hard or soft clipping for loudness and glue. It is the whole drum-bus workflow, minus the template clutter.
Recall is the real feature
The unglamorous truth about five-plugin drum chains is session recall: reopen a mix in six months and good luck remembering which saturator setting made the snare work. KNOCK stores the entire drum treatment in one plugin state – one preset, total recall, transferable between systems. For engineers juggling client revisions, that reliability is worth more than any single processor. DECAP’s included factory presets also serve as proven starting points you can adapt rather than building chains from zero every time.
Mix translation, engineered in
Modern drums have to survive everything from club systems to phone speakers, and KNOCK’s stages address exactly that: Sub guarantees low-end presence that does not depend on the listener’s speakers; Saturate’s harmonics make 808s audible on small drivers; Air keeps the top end smooth rather than harsh at high playback levels; Clip controls peaks musically. It is drum processing designed with the end listener in mind – which is, after all, the entire job.

Frequently asked questions
Can KNOCK really replace five separate plugins?
For drum duties, yes – transient shaping, saturation, sub synthesis, HF enhancement and clipping are the five processors most drum chains use, and KNOCK implements all five in one recallable interface.
Is the Sub module suitable for tuned 808-style kicks?
Yes – the generated sub tone’s pitch is adjustable, so reinforcement always sits in the track’s key.
How does it handle session recall and collaboration?
The entire drum treatment lives in one plugin state – save it as a preset, reopen it months later, or send the session to a collaborator with identical results.
Which DAWs are supported?
All major Mac & Windows DAWs via VST3, AU and AAX – Pro Tools, Logic, Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper and more.
