Duck

Sidechain that only moves what actually clashes — the kick gets its room, the mix keeps its air.

Duck — the real editor
Not on sale yet. When it is, the price and the button appear here and on the store.

What it is

  • Spectral unmasking: ducks only the frequencies the trigger occupies, not the whole mix
  • Measured selectivity — 5.5 dB down where the sources clash, 0.0 dB two octaves away
  • Blend and Max Reduction, so it can be surgical or obvious
  • Detector high/low pass to aim it at a kick, a snare or a rim
  • Wide mode for A/B against ordinary sidechain ducking, and Delta to solo what was removed
  • Mid/Side: take the centre down without narrowing the mix
  • General Unmask page for anything else that fights — vocal over pad, bass under synth
