## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP

*2020-04-27*

It doesn’t even work right, and some features cause the AUE to crash in GarageBand. I wasted 6.41 for this app...

**Developer response:** Not sure why you seem to purchase my apps then give them all 1 star. This app should work fine in GarageBand.

### 3/5 — Does its job but not the greatest

*2024-07-13, version 1.0*

Hard to get sufficient ducking without pushing the threshold past a point where the release is too noticeable. Good for light sidechaining, not so much for versatility.

### 3/5 — Help

*2020-06-23*

Following the instructions that says to set one track as master and the receiving track as the slave in audio evolution DAW. I’m also putting both tracks on the same BUS. But the side chaining isn’t happening. Willing to change my review if I could get it to work.

**Developer response:** Please checkout the videos I released on this app on the Paul the MusicMan website where I go over how to use this app in detail using AUM. I've never used Evolution so I can't say how well it has implemented multi-channel routing.

### 4/5 — Esta buena la aplicación

*2020-10-09*

La aplicación funciona muy bien en auria pero lastima que no funciona en GarageBand

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-29*

Love it. Bought to solve a specific problem of working in a daw with no sidechain compressor. Works great and does exactly what it says it does

### 5/5 — Working on GarageBand iOS !

*2025-12-02*

This plugin is working.  But I tried to understand a long time ago

### 5/5 — Side chain

*2021-08-01, version 1.0*

This is a very good app. Works well with garage band iOS.

### 5/5 — It Works!

*2021-04-03*

I was beginning to think their was no way to side chain on iOS DAWs outside BeatMaker3. Watch a tutorial on how to use this app and it will become your kick and 808s best friend.
