    SideKick from Sonic Academy is an audio plugin built to solve the oldest dance music problem of all: getting the kick and the bass to share the same space. Instead of fighting a compressor, you draw the exact ducking shape you want and let the plugin follow it.

    Key Features

    • Fully drawable volume envelopes where you add nodes, bend curves, draw freehand and snap points to the grid
    • Spectral ducking builds a 24 band inverse EQ from the sidechain signal, reducing only the frequencies that clash with your kick
    • Multiband processing splits the signal into low, mid and high bands, each with its own envelope and mix level
    • Five working modes in one plugin: host sync, MIDI trigger, audio trigger, spectral ducking and sidechain ring modulation
    • Automatic phase alignment, delta monitoring, waveform overlays and a library of factory presets

    How to Download

    1. Click the download button on this page and save the Mac installer.
    2. You can also Download from the official site to start the trial from Sonic Academy.
    3. Run the installer, then rescan plugins in your DAW so SideKick appears in your effects list.

    System Requirements

    SideKick needs macOS 10.13 or later and a DAW that hosts VST3, AU or AAX plugins. A 14 day free trial lets you test it in your own projects first.

    FAQs

    What does SideKick actually do?

    It lowers one sound whenever another plays, most often ducking the bass around each kick hit, using shapes and spectral tools you control.

    Which plugin formats are included?

    The Mac version installs as VST3, Audio Units and AAX, so it works in the major DAWs on macOS.

    Can I try it before buying?

    Yes. Sonic Academy offers a 14 day free trial with the full feature set, according to the product page.

    KICK 2 from Sonic Academy is a dedicated kick drum synthesizer for electronic music producers. Instead of hunting through sample folders for a drum that almost fits, you build the exact kick your track needs. A sub oscillator forms the body of the sound, sampled click layers add the attack, and flexible curves shape pitch and volume over time so the drum can be tuned to the key of your song.

    Key Features

    • Synthesizes kick drums from a dedicated sub oscillator rather than samples alone
    • Layers up to three click samples over the sub for attack and character
    • Uses Bezier curve editors for detailed pitch and amplitude envelopes
    • Ships with over 230 factory presets across many electronic styles
    • Renders your finished kick to a WAV file you can drop into any project

    How to Download

    1. Click the download button on this page and save the KICK 2 installer to your Mac.
    2. Run the installer and select the plugin formats your music software needs.
    3. You can also Download from the official site to get KICK 2 straight from Sonic Academy.

    System Requirements

    KICK 2 runs on macOS as a VST, AU and AAX plugin inside a compatible host. Note that Sonic Academy now lists KICK 2 as end of life, with KICK 3 as its successor.

    FAQs

    Can I tune the kick to my track?

    Yes. The pitch envelope shows note values as you edit, and keytracking lets the drum follow the notes you play on your keyboard.

    Can I use my own click samples?

    Yes. Each of the three click sections can load your own audio, so you can layer favourite transients over the synthesized sub.

    Does KICK 2 only make electronic kicks?

    Electronic styles are its home ground, but the same tools shape drums for pop and hip hop.
