ChopChop is a dynamic compressor that brings character and flexibility to your audio processing. It features external side chain capabilities and linear domain compression to deliver a classic sound reminiscent of vintage gear. Users can shape the compression effect with a high pass filter in the side chain and control the amount of gain reduction through range adjustment. The compressor also allows tailoring of its response with a range knee to modify the compression character and an adjustable compression knee for further customization.

Designed to handle complex mixing scenarios, ChopChop supports mid/side processing and offers freely adjustable channel linking to maintain balance between stereo channels. Its compression ratio spans the full spectrum from 1:1 to infinite, accommodating subtle dynamics control to extreme limiting. The plugin includes flexible metering options for precise monitoring and supports parallel compression to blend processed and dry signals seamlessly. Release acceleration control is available to fine-tune the compressor’s behavior, making it adaptable to diverse audio material.

Built on the reliable foundation of the R.A.O.N. plugin series, ChopChop benefits from high-quality oversampling to ensure pristine sound quality. The user interface is highly customizable, allowing for a personalized workflow, while features like full undo/redo and native preset management streamline the creative process. This combination of advanced audio control and user-friendly design makes ChopChop a powerful tool for producers and engineers aiming to add depth and polish to their mixes.
