Ring-mod Sidechain
Audio-rate limiting (aka “ring-mod sidechaining”) leaves a perfect negitave of your kick in the carrier signal. Slot your kick into the bass like a puzzle piece, and achieve the perfect sidechain and maximum loudness.
AutoChain— Sidechain VST3 Plugin
High-precision, input triggered sidechain with a combination of Ring Mod frequency carving and volume shaping.
See it in action
Combine the power of Ring Mod frequency carving and volume shaping to create the perfect no-compromise mix.
Features
AutoChain is a precision sidechaining plugin for modern producers. Tight ducking, adaptive envelopes, and spectral control in a clean, focused VST3 plugin.
02
Volume Shaping
Take your sidechain a step further and layer in the volume shaping. Create curves precisely and quickly with an editor that lets you both slide the shape like Kickstart, and draw like LFOTool.
03
Pre-fade
Control the fade into your envelope curve before the input is triggered. Use at small values to de-click the signal without bleeding into the kick, or larger values to create more impactful transients.
04
Multi-band Processing
The two depth knobs allow you to control the amount of volume reduction for the low and high bands separately. Set the crossover point to change the frequency range that is affected.
05
High-fidelity oscilloscope
Trust your ears, and your eyes. Dual traces for sidechain give a precise rolling visual of how your kick and bass are interacting.
06
Pattern Following
Ducking is triggered by your kick drum. No more fiddly automation lanes or MIDI clips. Use the threshold control to set the minimum volume level at which the envelope will be applied.
