Hi Kvr.

Have you ever considered an alternative to side-chain compression? We at denise audio have, and that's why we added a side-chain option to our recent plugin release, The Sweeper. With the side-chain option selected, this dynamic envelope following filter then turns into a more precise way to duck a selected channel using a high pass filter. Side-chain compression will reduce the volume of the whole channel. Useful if you want to create an dance music style pumping effect, but for mixing a kick and sub bass it's not so precise, and will lead to alterations in the lower mids and mid range of your bass or bassline.

Check out how the plugin works from our tip & trick video:

Is this something you think will benefit your mix?
