Sidechain Compressor

The versatile plug-in compressor with true multi track
side-chaining operation.

side-chain compression the easy way
Side-chaining compressors are amazingly useful effects.
They are standard issue tools for vocal ducking in radio
production to fade out music when a narrator is speaking.
They are also insanely popular in dance production able to
make your whole mix pump or breathe by following a kick
drum.

Unfortunately side-chaining in software can be tricky.
Some audio programs simply do not support it others
require pretty complex routing techniques.

The good news is that Sidechain Compressor is easy to use
and works in almost any audio software package - even those
that do not directly support side-chaining***. It only
takes a few mouse clicks and youre up and running

Our Finest Sound Yet
As if that wasnt enough we have completely re-designed
the compression algorithm for a more analogue response.
This compressor offers more character control and
flexibility than any previous db audioware compressor (and
weve built a few over the years).

Smooth sounding compression is possible with very short
attack/release times. Sidechain Compressor actually
performs wonderfully as a standard channel insert
compressor and by tuning the EQ and Shape controls you
can completely modify the response and sound of the
compressor.

Universal Sidechains
At the heart of Sidechain Compressor is db audiowares
Universal Sidechains the most popular and well-tested
independent side-chain method on the market. Universal
Sidechains let you side-chain in most multi track hosts
even if the host software itself does not have that native
capability***.

So when you want to do multi track side-chaining simply
open two copies of Sidechain Compressor one in your send
track and one in your receive track. Set the plug-in
controls as shown below and your Universal Sidechain is
ready to go

Notice that when set up like this (External Trig is on)
the send plug-in does not compress the audio but passes
audio unprocessed directly to its output. Only the
receive plug-in acts as a compressor. For full details
please see the User Manual.

MIDI Control
If you prefer to control your plug-ins with hardware knobs
or sliders Sidechain Compressor is happy to oblige.
Thanks to db audiowares easy-to-use MIDI Learn feature
its simple to map any on-screen control to your favourite
external MIDI control surface.
