Trackspacer: Sidechain EQ Dynamics Plugin by Wavesfactory Free Download

Trackspacer uses a 32-band EQ that reacts to the incoming sidechain signal. It analyzes the sidechain spectrum and applies the inverse of that curve to another track, cutting the frequencies the sidechain source needs.

This makes it useful for clearing room for a vocal, a lead or a solo without hand-drawn automation. Wavesfactory positions it as an alternative to sidechain compression, with the detection based on frequency content rather than overall level.

The main control is a large centered knob that sets the amount of reduction. Additional parameters let you go deeper into the processing.

Pan sets where the effect applies in standard stereo mode, from the left channel, the right channel or anywhere between. In Mid/Side mode, you choose whether the reduction applies to the mid channel, the sides or a blend.

Attack and Release control how quickly Trackspacer responds to the incoming signal, letting you make the reduction smoother or punchier, much like a regular compressor.

The Sidechain control lets you listen to the incoming sidechain signal, which makes it easier to set the low-cut and high-cut filters.
