awesome content🥰 do you have an intelligent way of volume ducking to a kick that does no clicks and pops? i saw you using duck buddy but is there also other methodes or how do you use duckbuddy as clean ad possible? 😊

[@PeranMe]

One method is to have a muted hihat acting as the sidechain trigger. So the hihat won’t be audible to the listener, but only to the compressor. And obviously it doesn’t need to be a hihat, but you normally want a short sound with a very distinct attack, so a closed hihat is what I typically use.

I've definitely found Duck Buddy to be the best side chain option! To make it smooth I often use the lookahead, ramp and smooth settings in combination at small values and listen until I don't hear a click anymore. The method that PeranMe mentioned is also really good!
