Waves Torque: Distortion Plugin

Enhance the tone of snares toms kicks or an entire drum kit in your mix with natural-sounding results that no regular pitch-shifter will allow. If you’ve tried to fix out-of-tune drums when mixing you know pitch shifters aren’t up to the task. They smear transients create artifacts and neuter acoustic drums. Powered by Waves’ proprietary Organic ReSynthesis engine Torque changes everything.

Torque can change tone and formants while preserving the original drum sound’s natural attack resonance and duration—with focus trim and threshold options to further enhance your drums. Use Torque in the studio—or live when you need to get the drums right in the mix. Help Your Drums Sit in the Mix It’s time to fit the drums to the production—not the other way around.

Tuned drums make tracks sound more professional cohesive and exciting. Got a great drum part but the pitch isn’t perfect? Now you can fix it in the mix. Fine-Tune Quickly and Easily Getting great drum tone with Torque is easy: Turn the big Torque control to tune the drum pitch. Adjust Thresh to determine the exact threshold level above which tuning will take place.
