Laser 2

Laser 2 by Sweetsonics is a precision sidechain effect built to make room between competing sounds without obvious pumping. Its real-time waveform display lets you shape gain reduction around incoming transients, while negative offset starts ducking before a hit arrives. Use it to separate kick and bass, control busy percussion, or create space in dense arrangements while keeping attacks punchy. Choose one to three reduction bands, with independent mid, side or stereo processing for each band. A spectral analyzer helps reveal frequency clashes, and sidechain filters refine which parts of the trigger signal drive the response. Fast envelopes support transparent ducking, while deeper reduction settings allow more pronounced effects. Oversampling, preset management and a resizable interface round out the workflow. Laser 2 suits producers and mixing engineers who want detailed control over transient timing, separation and headroom.
