Get sidechain Compression in any DAW even if not supported
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 you’re up and running!

Our Finest Sound Yet
We have completely re-designed our compression algorithm in Sidechain Compressor for a more analogue response. This compressor offers more character, control and flexibility than any previous db audioware compressor (and we’ve 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 audioware’s 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.

For added flexibility, you can side-chain from one “send” track to multiple “receive” tracks. Just set up as above, making sure that every “receive” plug-in is tuned to the same Universal Sidechain bus.
MIDI Control

If you prefer to control your plug-ins with hardware knobs or sliders, Sidechain Compressor is happy to oblige. Thanks to db audioware’s easy-to-use MIDI Learn feature, it’s simple to map any on-screen control to your favorite external MIDI control surface.

Conclusion: You get a good compressor and if your DAW don t allow sidechain compression (like Fruity loop 9), you got the solution.
