Meet SIDEWISE — the intelligent sidechain plugin that automatically detects where your kick and 808 clash, then makes room for your kick without taking the weight out of your bass.
SMART SIDECHAINING
Let your kick through. Keep your bass full.
When your kick and bass fight for space, the SMART feature finds what clashes and ducks only the overlapping frequencies. Your kick punches through while the rest of your 808 keeps its weight—with less time spent tweaking.
Smart ducking where the frequencies overlap
Learns your kick in two hits

THREE WAYS TO SIDECHAIN
Three ways to
Sidechain, in one plugin
From a cleaner low end to a loop that moves with your beat, SIDEWISE gives you three ways to get the feel you’re after.
SMART — Clear the clash
When your kick gets buried under your 808, make room where they clash. Let the kick punch through while the rest of your bass keeps its weight.
SHAPE — Shape your groove
Make pads, chords and loops pulse with your track. Follow the tempo or trigger the movement with incoming audio, using one of 12 curves or a shape you draw yourself.
CLASSIC — Let the kick lead
Get that familiar ducking feel every time your kick hits. Bring your kick and bass together with straightforward amount, release and mix controls.
