Chain Shaper sidechain plugin interface showing multiband ducking and oscilloscope controls.

Unrivaled Precision and Clarity

Chain Shaper reinvents the very concept of sidechaining, giving you an unrivaled level of precision and clarity. Sidechain compression causes low level distortion and is inaccurate. Chain Shaper is clean, every time - no clicks, no distortion.

Automatic Transient Detection

Say goodbye to threshold controls and hello to automatic. Chain Shaper is the only plugin capable of automatically detecting drum transients and using them as a sidechain trigger. No more using dummy clips and "tricks" to get a clean sidechain.

Multiband Sidechaining

Want to only sidechain the lows? Done. Split the signal into three bands and side chain without any phase shifting. Route up to 6 input channels across three split bands for a simply unmatched level of control over your sound.

  • Automatic transient detection - detects drum hits at any volume without the need for any threshold control.
  • Incredibly accurate audio triggered sidechain
  • Completely customize your sidechain
  • Route up to 6 audio channels for precision ducking in one instance.
  • Transparent multiband splitter to target specific frequency bands for sidechaining.
  • Multi-channel oscilloscope to view how each channel affects the ducking and interacts with each other.
  • Uses only 2.8ms of latency and low CPU.
  • A Max for Live plugin for Ableton Suite 10, Ableton Suite 11, Ableton Suite 12 or Ableton Standard with a Max for Live License.
