Sidechain compression

SpacyX · Post by **SpacyX** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 8:37 pm

Okay i got a little question for you guys.
I use ableton live 6 on my mac and the only sidechain compressor i could find was dualcomp.
Okay it works within live and does the job at 41 Khz but when i render above this sample rate everytime the kick strikes and the bassline compresses i hear this strange crackling sound.

Now what i am looking for is a good sidechain compressor VST/AU for mac.
It would be great if they are free but im not falling over a couple of euros/dollars when it comes to quality.

Thanks in advance though !

Unfortunately, the only free sidechain comp plug for osx is the one from teragon, not sounding really good.

as said before, sonalksis is a good bet, especially for the price, the sound is clean...

I have been testing the sonalksis plugins and they really sound nice.
I like the warm sound that comes out of it.

Im gonna put 'em to the test and if i really enhoy im going to buy 'em aswell.

Thanks !
