Ducking or sidechain compression is one of the defining effects of modern music. From classic house to modern EDM, tracks by Daft Punk, Noisia and Eric Prydz exude that pumping, smooth vibe. So, whether you’re producing pumping house or broken beats, Duck delivers in seconds.
Duck makes it easy to create a freeform volume that repeats at the speed and depth of your choice, or use one of 58 presets to find new and inspiring effects. In addition to sidechain compression, the Duck can control broadcast, tremolo, and any other volume effects you can think of. For more control, enable split band mode and adjust separate bass and treble controls. And Duck can be triggered using audio from a sidechain input or via MIDI notes, making it easier than ever for hip-hop and bass music producers.
