Waves OneKnob Pumper Plug-in - How Good Is It? Our Test

In this Pro Tools Expert video series, brought to you with the support of Waves, we test the entire range of Waves OneKnob Series plug-ins. Each of these OneKnob plug-ins provides an individual process that users set by use of a single dial. 

In this sixth episode, we test Waves OneKnob Pumper plug-in which is essentially a gain reduction processor that is modulated by an internal LFO. To produce a pumping effect we usually run kick drums into the sidechain of a mix bus or track's compressor but with OneKnob Pumper we get the same results by use of a single dial and rate control. In this video we demonstrate two OneKnob Pumper applications. The first being how we can use Pumper to sound as though a kick drum is sucking the volume of a different instrument in a mix, the other example shows you how you can get a dub sounding Wub Wub effect in a bass instrument.

Is OneKnob Pumper any good? Watch the video and decide for yourself.
