sidechain compression

Sidechain compression on WindowsForum.com covers the practical side of ducking one audio track against another, with a focus on Windows-ready plugins and tools. Tagged content highlights free and commercial options, including Rue Blose's Oppressor, a pay-what-you-want sidechain compressor for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) available as a VST3 plugin and standalone app. Discussion touches on multiband and spectral ducking, which reduce only the overlapping frequencies rather than the whole track, plus detection modes, latency tradeoffs, and how such tools compare with commercial alternatives like Trackspacer.
