The Ultimate Precision Transient Sidechainer

Introducing Laser 2 – a complete rebuild of the legendary sidechaining plugin, designed for producers and mixing engineers who demand ultimate precision and transparency in their mixes.  "Why not just use a dynamic EQ or other sidechain plugins?" Because spectral-focused plugins don't show you how your reduction envelope relates to the actual incoming sidechain signal. You're processing blind. And they're not designed for the ultra-fast, transient-perfect response that transparent sidechaining demands.

Features

  • Real-Time Waveform Analysis for Sidechain Signal – Visualize incoming transients and create reduction envelopes that perfectly follow transient's exact shape
  • Time Domain Precision – True transparent sidechaining through precise time-based control
  • Negative Offset – Start reduction before the transient hits, preserving punch while saving valuable headroom
  • Ultra-Fast Envelope Shapes – Handle even the fastest transients effortlessly
  • New Analyzer Section – Spectral domain visualization shows clashing frequencies in real-time
  • Dynamic Multi-Band Processing – Create 1-3 reduction bands dynamically for completely inaudible sidechaining
  • Gain Headroom – Achieve clarity, separation and louder mixes while improving your mix headroom by up to 1 dB or more  
  • Dynamic Band Count – Choose from one to three bands depending on your needs
  • Minus Infinity Reduction – Per-band control for complete signal removal when needed
  • Mid/Side/Stereo Processing – Independent processing modes per band for maximum flexibility
  • Precise Sidechain Filters – Preprocess your sidechain signal for easier triggering and more accurate ducking
  • Preset Manager – Save and recall your favorite settings instantly
  • Oversampling – Enhanced audio quality for the most demanding projects
  • Main Track Routing – Use as a non-sidechain plugin for creative envelope shaping
  • Resizable Vector UI
