DUCK ME
Draw Your Own Groove
Duck Me is an advanced ducking and volume shaping plugin that gives you complete control over your dynamics. Instead of relying on traditional sidechain routing, simply draw your own custom ducking curves and create the exact movement your track needs.
From subtle mix cleanup to aggressive pumping effects, Duck Me lets you design your groove with precision and creativity.
Custom Curve Editor
At the heart of Duck Me is a powerful and intuitive curve editor. Create anything from simple sidechain style volume envelopes to complex rhythmic modulation patterns.
Control points can be connected with straight lines or transformed into smooth, exponential curves for natural or highly aggressive transitions. Every detail of the movement can be shaped exactly to your taste.
Sidechain Without Routing
Achieve the famous pumping sidechain effect without setting up compressors, trigger tracks, or complicated routing. Simply draw the curve, sync it to your project tempo, and start shaping your sound instantly.
Kick & Rumble Extraction
Duck Me isn’t just a creative ducking tool. It can also be used as a powerful kick extraction processor.
Thanks to its advanced Band Split engine and optional Linear Phase mode, Duck Me allows you to isolate kick drums and rumble kicks from virtually any source material. Extract clean low-end content from full drum loops, percussion loops, mixed stems, or even complete tracks with remarkable transparency.
This makes Duck Me an invaluable tool for producers looking to:
- Extract kicks from finished tracks
- Isolate rumble kicks from techno loops
- Create custom kick sample libraries
- Recover usable low-end elements from old projects
- Build new drum kits from existing material
Once isolated, simply use the integrated Audio Recorder to capture the result and instantly drag the extracted kick directly into your DAW, or export it as a WAV file for future use.
Transform any track into a source of fresh kick samples and production-ready low-end material.
Frequency-Split Ducking
Take ducking to the next level with the integrated Band Split section. Apply the ducking effect exclusively to the low-frequency or high-frequency portion of your signal while leaving the remaining spectrum untouched.
Perfect for:
• Controlling low-end energy without affecting the highs
• Creating cleaner kick and bass relationships
• Frequency-selective groove shaping
• Advanced sound design applications
For maximum transparency, Duck Me also includes an optional Linear Phase Mode for the crossover filters.
8 Quick Curve Slots
Instantly switch between up to eight custom curve presets directly from the interface. Compare different groove variations, automate transitions, or build entire arrangements around multiple ducking shapes.
Built-In Audio Recorder
Capture audio directly inside the plugin and instantly export the result.
Record a section, then:
• Drag and drop the rendered audio directly into your DAW
• Export WAV files to your hard drive
• Create loops and groove templates within seconds
