Sidechain Compressor Plugin for Android

11 things about Sidechain Compressor Plugin

1. Until recently it wasn't possible to do true side chaining using AUv3, but now AUM has recently integrated support for multiple inputs and outputs per AUv3 plugin, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

2. This is where this app has you covered as it provides a method of sudo side-chaining by allowing you to attach two instances of this plugin to multiple sources and route audio between them to achieve a sudo sidechain.

3. Side chaining is a technique used in a lot of modern dance music which involves using the volume level of one sound source to control another.

4. Then using the new 'Multiple Audio Unit Instances' option in AUM you can add a redirection of the controlling source to send to the same bus the plugin is listening to.

5. This works by ensuring two instances of the plugin are loaded as insert effects, one being the MASTER and the other a SLAVE.

6. This is an AUv3 compatible stereo compressor plugin which is intended for use inside your favourite DAW/HOST such as AUM, Cubasis, Auria, Meteor, AUM or GarageBand etc.

7. You can hear plenty of examples of this in modern Trance/Dubstep music where sound engineers use the impact of a bass drum to duck a sustained string sound, creating space in the mix.

8. ○ Sudo side chain using MASTER and SLAVE for others.

9. Simple set the SideChain Mode to 'Normal' and install an instance of the plugin on the channel you want to control.

10. This compressor is quite unique since it was designed to get around the limitations of AUv3 plugins on iOS and the lack of multi-audio routing inside DAW apps.

11. The slave sends audio to the master by means of one of 3 available busses.
