Real Gem

Wow. Had this plugin for years and didn’t know it would become a center piece in my mixing for ducking the melody when the kick hits instead of using a regular compressor. I just have an ask though. Bypass option/button? Is it possible to add this? Really would help my workflow in beatmaker 3

Cool app

Its a kick its there when you need just a kick

Knaller!

Macht das, was es soll perfekt. Hatte auch andere Sidechain-Kompressoren ausprobiert, aber für pumpende Baselines ist der hier der absolute Bringer. Zig Parameter lassen sich per MIDI ansteuern. Ganz klar fünf Sterne!

Danke sehr :)

Mega Bombe Plugin

Derb Good dope work!

Response from developer

Thanks!

Needs midi input update

The ducker doesn’t seem to work when routed via MIDI. Tried it every way kick works no duck.

-I got it to work you have to have 2 instances of Sidekick running on top of each other. Could be a NanoStudio 2 issue, it’s really the only auv3 if it’s kind so I don’t know. Open up 2 instances and one of them works fine. Remove one and you just get the kick. Also works great as a ducker when used on other tracks. It really sounds great, just need 2 instances for kick in NanoStudio 2 when using MIDI that is all.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for taking the time to edit your review! Also, thank you for sharing your practice on Nanostudio! indeed you can launch as many instances of the sidekick as you want (all the more that it is quite CPU efficient), and using two or more instances to use either the kick or the sidechain compression is a very nice to go indeed! Have fun with the sidekick and don't hesitate to check our other apps!
