Fixed some macOS bugs for our side chain effect
We are excited to announce the release of an update for our popular sidechain effect plugin, BSharry SideChainer, now available in version 1.2.1. This update has been carefully crafted to address several important issues, particularly for macOS users, ensuring that the plugin operates more smoothly and reliably than ever before. With this update, we aim to provide a better user experience and ensure that BSharry SideChainer continues to be a vital tool in your music production workflow.
This release brings two critical bug fixes that address key issues that were affecting the performance of the plugin, especially on macOS systems. We take user feedback seriously, and the main goal of version 1.2.1 is to resolve these issues for an overall better experience. Let’s take a closer look at what’s been fixed:
One of the most pressing issues reported by our macOS users was the malfunctioning of the output signal in the plugin. Many users found that the sidechain effect wasn’t properly applied, resulting in no audible output when the plugin was active. After thorough investigation, we’ve identified and resolved the problem, ensuring that macOS users will now experience flawless operation from BSharry SideChainer.
This fix brings back the reliability that users expect from the plugin, allowing you to use SideChainer confidently in your productions without worrying about signal issues. Whether you’re working on a high-energy dance track or adding that signature pump to a deep house groove, you can now trust that the output will function as intended.
Another critical issue that users reported was related to the plugin validation process. Specifically, there was a bug preventing BSharry SideChainer from being validated properly in certain Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). This meant that the plugin wouldn’t show up as a usable effect in some setups or was not recognized as a legitimate plugin in others.
With the update to version 1.2.1, we’ve resolved this validation bug, ensuring that BSharry SideChainer works seamlessly across all compatible DAWs and setups. This fix eliminates any potential disruptions to your workflow, so you can focus on creating music rather than troubleshooting plugin issues. The plugin now validates and functions as expected across all supported DAWs on both macOS and Windows platforms.
If you are an existing owner of BSharry SideChainer, we highly recommend that you download and install version 1.2.1 as soon as possible, especially if you are working on a macOS machine. These critical fixes will enhance the reliability of the plugin and prevent any potential frustration while working on your music projects. We want to ensure that you have the best possible experience while using BSharry SideChainer, and this update goes a long way toward that goal.
BSharry SideChainer continues to be an invaluable tool for creating the signature “dance pump” effect commonly used in electronic music, especially within genres like house, techno, and EDM. By applying sidechain compression with the kick drum, the plugin helps achieve that signature rhythmic groove that adds punch, space, and definition to the overall mix. This is a technique used by top producers and DJs worldwide to give their tracks that unmistakable energy and movement.
For those who may be new to sidechain compression or to BSharry SideChainer itself, let’s briefly go over how the plugin works. Sidechain compression is a technique where the volume of one track is automatically lowered based on the presence of another track, often the kick drum. This process creates a “pumping” effect, which allows the kick to punch through the mix without competing with other elements like pads, leads, or bass.
Traditionally, setting up sidechain compression in a DAW can be a bit complex and time-consuming. It requires setting up a control track, routing signals, and adjusting attack and release times to get the right feel. BSharry SideChainer eliminates all this complexity by automating the entire process. The plugin generates the control signal internally and syncs it to your host’s tempo. You can simply adjust the four rounded knobs to fine-tune the shape and timing of the sidechain effect. It’s quick, efficient, and designed to help you get the perfect “pumping” sound in just a few simple steps.
In addition to simplifying the sidechain process, BSharry SideChainer also provides useful visual feedback to make the effect even easier to control. The plugin’s user interface (UI) displays both the original audio signal and the modulated result. You’ll see the input signal in white and the modulated output in purple, giving you a clear view of how the sidechain effect is being applied. This visual representation helps you fine-tune the settings and ensures that the effect sounds exactly as you intend.
The real-time audio meters also show the dynamics of the effect as it happens, providing instant feedback on how the plugin is affecting the audio. This visual aspect of the plugin makes it easier to dial in the perfect sidechain effect, saving you time and helping you maintain creative flow.
