Duck 2 Upgrade from v1

Duck 2 from Devious Machines is a volume-shaping effect built for precise sidechaining and rhythmic gating. Instead of fiddly compressor setups, you draw multi-segment envelopes to carve exact volume curves—perfect for making bass and kick coexist. Its multiband mode splits audio into three bands, each with independent envelopes, so you can duck just the low end or sculpt tone with surgical control. Trigger envelopes from MIDI, sidechain input, or audio, or lock them to the beat like an LFO. Over 200 presets cover sidechaining, tremolo, gating, and envelope shaping, while group sync keeps multiple instances aligned. Beyond ducking, it excels at rhythmic gating for pads and synths, cleaning up kick tails, and creative sound design. Ideal for electronic producers in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic who want faster, more musical mixes.
