Duck
Duck is a powerful plugin that allows you to create gated reverb style sounds and perfect sidechain ducking. With its crossover feature, you can process the high and low frequencies of your music separately, and with its lookahead feature, you can design your sound with precision. Whether you’re producing pumping house or broken beats, Duck delivers in seconds.
- Instant sidechain pumping as soon as you load the plugin
- Cleaner, louder and more exciting mixes
- Groups let you edit the shape of multiple instances of Duck at the same time
- Choose from 8 preset curves or 58 creative and useful Duck patches
- Draw your own curves and rhythms to use now, or save them later
- Set the overall pump, or apply to low and high bands with adjustable crossover
- Run Duck in Repeat mode, or use sidechained audio or MIDI signals to trigger, with optional lookahead for glitch-free audio
- Smoothing control to remove clicks: including super-accurate pre-smoothing algorithm when in LFO mode
- Run Duck on individual tracks, groups or your master bus for different pump effects
- Low CPU usage means you can run Duck on loads of tracks
- Use Lookahead to get more accurate ducking with transient signals
- Solo Low or High band to adjust crossover frequency more accurately
- Group infinite Ducks into one of four groups to edit their curves as one
- MIDI Filtering for MIDI trigger mode sets note range for triggering
