New! Snapback: The Instant Drum Layering Effect from Cableguys x BT

We are pleased to announce Snapback, the instant drum layering effect from Cableguys and electronic music pioneer BT.

Add Snapback as an effect to any drum track and it detects each hit, layering new samples on top in perfect time. Stack a click on a dull kick for instant attack. Layer stereo sizzle onto thin snares. Beef up boring hits with analog sauce samples. Add punch, style and flair in a way that EQ, compression and distortion cannot.

Next, add missing groove and magic with the one-of-a-kind Snapback section that places a special “snapback” sample before each hit: a quick "whip" of reversed sound that gives digital hits a lively, believable attack.

Never before possible in a plugin, this secret trick of pro producers for animated grooves is now only clicks away. Get classic pre-shifted claps in seconds. Add unique reversed textures before kicks and snares. And avoid boring, over-quantized grooves with exciting between-the-beats motion.

Snapback is on sale now for Black Friday at just $29 instead of $49. Or buy it in the Cableguys Bundle that contains $638 of plugins (Snapback, ShaperBox 3, FilterShaper XL, HalfTime + more) for only $149. ShaperBox 3 Bundle is also on Black Friday sale at just $89.
