Description:
Kickstart 2 by Nicky Romero and Cableguys delivers fast, professional sidechaining without the need to set up complex compressors. It instantly resolves muddled low-end by ducking your track's volume in sync with the kick, creating clean separation and punch for both kick and bass.
Key Features
Instant Low-End Clarity: Eliminates frequency overlap and mud between kick and bass.
Simplified Workflow: Replaces tedious compressor routing with a quick, intuitive interface.
Automatic Volume Ducking: Lowers track volume on every kick beat to keep your mix clean and focused.
Multiband Sidechain: Allows for precise control over the low-end frequency spectrum, clearing space for the kick in layered drum loops without losing key percussive elements.
Band Trigger: Enables sidechain triggering directly from an audio track, bridging the gap between Kickstart and traditional sidechaining techniques.
Visual Kick View: Displays the visual relationship between tracks to help produce a cohesive, "glued" mix.
Audio Trigger & Kick View: Simplifies routing audio to Kickstart's external sidechain input and activates audio-triggering mode.
New Curve Presets: Provides specially designed curve presets for greater control over sidechain shaping.
These updates make Kickstart 2 a powerful tool for producers looking to enhance their sidechain processing and achieve professional sound quality in their mixes.
