Hi guys.
I am wondering if anyone can help me find a free compressor that can do side chaining for Mac, so I guess, an AU plugin.
I am trying to switch over to Ableton on Mac for production, and I'm missing that side chained bass pretty badly.
I guess if there's no free one, then one that costs money is Ok too, so long as it's not too expensive.
Thanks a bunch  |

The new Ableton Live 7 will have sidechain within their plugins compressor (which will be new) and autofilter, so wait a little, and get the update...
i guess you know the tc native bundle 3.1 which has sc-comp but thats not a free one...
maybe that helps alittle... |

@Saf
Are you already using Ableton? And when you say production I am presuming you mean song writing, mixing and possibly mastering. All the Ableton users I know at uni don't mix or master with it. They all prefer other DAWs which are better equipped for those processes. I don't wish to start a DAW war, Ableton is great for getting ideas down fast and has gained a huge following. But if you are already using another DAW then you might want to consider running it in conjunction with Live. If you have just bean using Live on a PC up until now then ignore all the above and get your self a decent compressor. They are such a fundamental studio tool, its worth investing in a decent one.

I'm using Live for 2 years now and i'm thinking about buying Cubase 4 now....As you said Live is so much good to get ideas down but for professional STUDIO work, there's better stuff : Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools...
Live is not a DAW, it is an instrument...

@psytracked,
Yeah I meant for song writing and mixing.
I have been using Abelton on PC for a while, and about a year before with Cubase. I often think of trying them together on one track, but I haven't tried it yet.
I have gotten decent results using only Ableton somehow, here is an example:

I miss a lot of things about Cubase, but I enjoy the work flow in Ableton a lot. |

Logic has its own plugin format, right?
I assume I can't just use the logic one without logic.

plus those cubase based plugins...and logic based plugins are all locked to their master daw...
basicly you cant use a plug in built in logic in Live...for example
thats alot of ins...

You are right about Logic plugins not working in anything else, but...
I'm going to disagree about Cubase ones, because I've used VB-1 in Ableton and FL Studio just by having it in my plugins directory in Windows. I thought it might not work, but it does.
VST is Steinberg's plugin format, and of course, it works in many DAWs.
I also I notice that some plugins I'm using in Ableton on OSX right now, such as Vanguard, install 2 versions, one AU and one VST. I found this odd because I thought VST was a win32 only format. My Rob Papen Blue is also VST format on OSX.
Obviously, vanguard.dll on windows is a completely different shared object format than vanguard.vst on OSX, though.

I use Protools (PC) and their RTAS/Audiosuite formats. These don't work on other DAWs. However I can use VSTs in Protools with Fxpansions VST to RTAS adapter.Interestingly they also do a VST to AU adapter.

thats funny...i tried to use those, with no sucess, its like the plugins are locked to cubase only....what i did was place the quadrafuzz and vb-1 dlls on the vstplugins folder that i use (which is not steibergs standart one)...maybe if they are left at the cubase folder...and loaded from there, it could work??
