Sidechain ducking, synced or from your kick
Tempo-synced volume ducking with four curve shapes, or real ducking from the kick on any track. The display shows your track and the kick moving under one static curve, like Kickstart.
Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.
Drop it on a bass, pad or full group. Without an Input it pumps in time with your project at 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 or 1/1, using one of four shapes. Pick your kick track on the Input menu and it ducks on the real kick instead, which is perfect for breaks and fills. Amount sets how deep it goes, Hold keeps it down a little longer, Release and Curve shape the way back up.
