Sidechain Compressor Plugin by 4Pockets.com
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1500710796
Description:
This is an AUv3 compatible stereo compressor plugin which is intended for use inside your favourite DAW/HOST such as AUM, Cubasis, Auria, Meteor, AUM or GarageBand etc.
So lets start by answering the question what is side chaining?
Side chaining is a technique used in a lot of modern dance music which involves using the volume level of one sound source to control another. You can hear plenty of examples of this in modern Trance/Dubstep music where sound engineers use the impact of a bass drum to duck a sustained string sound, creating space in the mix. This can be heard as a rythmic pumping sound which gives your music drive and energy.
This compressor is quite unique since it was designed to get around the limitations of AUv3 plugins on iOS and the lack of multi-audio routing inside DAW apps. Until recently it wasn't possible to do true side chaining using AUv3, but now AUM has recently integrated support for multiple inputs and outputs per AUv3 plugin, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
This is great for AUM users, but this still leaves users of other DAW's in the dark. This is where this app has you covered as it provides a method of sudo side-chaining by allowing you to attach two instances of this plugin to multiple sources and route audio between them to achieve a sudo sidechain. This works by ensuring two instances of the plugin are loaded as insert effects, one being the MASTER and the other a SLAVE. The slave sends audio to the master by means of one of 3 available busses.
True side chaining can be achieved in AUM. Simple set the SideChain Mode to 'Normal' and install an instance of the plugin on the channel you want to control. Then using the new 'Multiple Audio Unit Instances' option in AUM you can add a redirection of the controlling source to send to the same bus the plugin is listening to. It's that simple. In this case you need to set both instances to either Bus 2 or 3, since Bus 1 is the original audio.
Features:
○ Standard Compressor features.
○ Real calibrated VU and reduction meters
○ Real-time visual graphing of parameters.
○ Real sidechain in AUM.
○ Sudo side chain using MASTER and SLAVE for others.
○ 3 available busses.
○ Mono / Stereo modes.
○ Integrated help.
Comments
Would be interested in seeing this work within Cubasis.
Have this something different from woodpressor, rough rider 3, fabfilter mb and other compressor that maybe I do not rember?
Has anybody tried this one, or is everybody waiting for the other compressors to get sidechain updates.
I’m afraid the dev is not willing to update the other three compressors...
Sooo, I am torn here. I like 4Pockets, on last count I had 13 apps from them. I also do not begrudge a developer the (meagre) income from a new app. Quite the contrary.
On the other hand, I am also not thrilled to throw away several apps only to buy the new, somewhat improved version. Hmm.
Maybe he can make a bundle of all compressors, because I bought multiband compressor then visual multiband and then I was WTF, I don’t want to store plugins I wouldn’t use(
It is kind of a dick move selling multiple forms of the same app instead of one full featured compressor/expander.
I own a lot of his apps, too, but I've decided against buying any more of them for now. The problem is that there's always problems with them - they never really seem to fill the gap they initially seemed to fill, and I end up never using them again. That said, I'm using DigiStix to drive Ruismaker quite a bit at the moment, and it does the job quite well. But, on the whole, his apps always seem 'half done' to me.
Yes. It bothers me that he seems rarely to go back and improve or expand an app. It’s fire and forget it seems and I can understand the economic rationale for it. As I said, I’m torn.
I feel the same, I’ve bought most of his app. And have a lot of frustration with latest plugins.
They have a lot of functionalities but little usability.
Speaking of usability, or lack thereof, this is the problem with the latest update to Chameleon:

And from reading these comments, it appears there will be no fix to this situation either.
I can see how annoying that must be for you, but better to fix an issue like having the wrong name in the beginning even if it causes some initial pain. I’m sorry to hear it messed up your work though.
Oh well. I guess I need to get a big boy/pro sampler instead anyway. AudioLayer?
