Description :
Duck 2 is the perfect tool for creating additional chains and creative volume formation.
A powerful multi-segment envelope lets you precisely adjust the volume curve. Bass clashing with the kick? Simply define the desired shape—no more complex track automation and compressor settings. Link it to a beat like an LFO, or trigger it from other elements in the mix.
With Duck’s fast workflow, powerful multiband mode, and hundreds of presets to get you started, you’ll never want to be without this tool again.
Eliminate Muddy Mixes Forever :
Ducking, often referred to as sidechaining, is a popular technique for clear, powerful mixes.
This involves briefly reducing (or dodging) the volume of one sound to make room for another—critical if they compete for space in the mix. Traditionally, this was achieved using a side-chain compressor, but in recent years, envelope-based tools have gained popularity due to their precision and ease of use.
Duck 2 is specifically designed for envelope bending, with a time-saving interface and a range of professional features, such as multi-band operation. Watch the video to see what Duck 2 can do for your mix.
