Exciting New Update: BSharry SideChainer 1.2.2 – Optimized for macOS and Apple Silicon
We’re thrilled to announce the release of version 1.2.2 of our highly acclaimed sidechain effect plugin, BSharry SideChainer. This dynamic and intuitive plugin is designed to streamline the sidechain compression process, allowing producers to effortlessly achieve the iconic “pumping” effect often heard in dance, electronic, and other modern genres. The latest update focuses on resolving critical issues for macOS users, particularly those using Apple Silicon Macs, and brings several other enhancements to improve performance and usability.
The primary focus of this update is to improve compatibility with the latest Apple Silicon chips, including M1 and M2 processors. These processors offer increased speed and efficiency for Mac users, but previous versions of the plugin experienced some issues with performance and compatibility on these systems. With version 1.2.2, we’ve addressed these problems, ensuring that BSharry SideChainer works seamlessly across both Intel-based and Apple Silicon Macs. If you’re using a newer Mac, this update is crucial for ensuring that the plugin runs smoothly, without crashes or glitches, and that you get the best performance possible when using the plugin.
In addition to the improvements for macOS, we’ve made other performance tweaks to enhance the overall stability of the plugin. Whether you’re using it in a large session with multiple tracks or working on a more minimal setup, you’ll notice improvements in processing speed and plugin responsiveness. This update ensures that BSharry SideChainer remains an indispensable tool in your production toolkit, providing a consistently high-quality experience across all supported platforms.
For those who aren’t familiar with the concept of sidechain compression, it’s a technique used to create dynamic effects, often employed in electronic music to produce the classic “pumping” sound that has become synonymous with dance and EDM tracks. Sidechain compression typically involves using the kick drum or another rhythmic element to control the volume of other elements, such as basslines, pads, or even vocals. This creates a rhythmic “ducking” effect that adds energy and movement to the track, contributing to the overall groove and feel.
BSharry SideChainer makes this process incredibly simple. Unlike traditional sidechain setups that often require complex routing, this plugin automates the entire process, giving you the sidechain effect with minimal effort. You can quickly set up your sidechain compression, adjust the envelope control, and fine-tune the attack and release times to match the vibe you’re going for. Whether you’re creating dance beats, atmospheric soundscapes, or even experimental textures, BSharry SideChainer allows you to apply sidechain compression with precision and ease.
BSharry SideChainer includes several important features that make it a powerful tool for both novice and professional producers alike:
Customizable Envelope Control: The plugin offers a highly customizable envelope control that allows you to shape the dynamics of the sidechain effect. You can easily adjust how quickly the sound ducks and how fast it recovers, giving you full control over the rhythmic feel of your mix.
Adjustable Attack and Release: Just like traditional sidechain compressors, BSharry SideChainer allows you to adjust the attack and release times, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune the timing of the sidechain effect. This is crucial for ensuring that your track grooves exactly the way you want, whether you need a sharp, punchy duck or a smooth, gradual change in volume.
Real-Time Visual Feedback: One of the standout features of BSharry SideChainer is its visual feedback system. The plugin provides a real-time display of the input and modulated output signals, so you can see exactly how the sidechain effect is impacting your sound. This visual representation is not only useful for making adjustments but also helps you better understand the dynamics of the plugin, enabling faster workflows and better results.
Sync to Host Tempo: BSharry SideChainer syncs to your host tempo, ensuring that the sidechain effect is always in time with the rhythm of your track. This feature makes it easier to integrate the plugin into your workflow without worrying about timing issues.
Simple and Intuitive Controls: The plugin’s user interface has been designed to be as intuitive as possible. With a few rounded knobs, you can adjust all the critical parameters, including the sidechain envelope, attack, release, and the time division settings. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, BSharry SideChainer’s simple layout ensures that you can achieve your desired sound quickly and with minimal effort.
As mentioned earlier, version 1.2.2 of BSharry SideChainer brings important fixes for users on macOS, particularly those using Apple Silicon Macs. These newer Macs offer a significant performance boost, but they also presented some compatibility challenges for software developers. We’ve addressed these issues, and now BSharry SideChainer works flawlessly on both Intel and Apple Silicon-based Macs, ensuring that all users can take full advantage of the plugin’s capabilities, regardless of which hardware they’re using.
With these performance improvements, macOS users can expect the plugin to run more efficiently, with faster load times and reduced CPU usage, even when using multiple instances in larger projects. This means you can rely on BSharry SideChainer in your most demanding sessions without experiencing any performance bottlenecks.
