Using the crossover

Find out how can use this feature to let your music shine whilst still having all that space for your bass.

One minute tutorial

Lookahead

If you are triggering Duck using audio or midi, rather than using the LFO, you can clean up your audio and avoid unwanted clicks with Lookahead.

Two minute tutorial

Gated reverb with audio triggering

Duck has audio input based triggering. This, in conjunction with the Lookahead feature, makes it perfect for precise design of gated reverb style sounds.

Just place Duck after the reverb on your drum sound, select plugin input from the trigger mode menu in the bottom right, adjust the trigger level, curve shape and lookahead settings until you get your desired gating effect
