Improve the sound of your kick drums with the Sasquatch Kick Machine 2 from Boz Digital Labs. This software plug-in isn’t a sample replacement tool, but instead triggers two tone-generator sections, one for the low end of the kick (Oomph), and a second that simulates the attack of the sound (Click). The intuitive interface makes it much easier to quickly sculpt your kick-drum sound without the hassle of paging through various samples, hoping for a good fit.

Sasquatch 2 provides three trigger modes with threshold and filter setting adjustments to ensure the algorithm properly follows your original kick recording without phasing or flamming issues. A library of presets helps you get started, while multiple parameters let you tweak the results. The Oomph section offers four different waveforms along with rounding and envelope controls. Drop parameters let you pitch the frequency of the kick down from high to low to create more impact and create electronic effects at extreme settings. The Click section offers sustain, filters, and resonance controls to get the attack portion of your sound exactly right.

Finally, the Master section lets you blend the amount of your original kick drum with the results of the algorithm, so you can get the exact balance you want. Additional tools including a bass boost, high-pass filter, and a limiter offer final touches to ensure the kick sits just right in the mix.
