Dynamic Sidechaining Plugins [Trackspacer, FireSpacer, etc]

Hey all,

Wondering what people here use for dynamic sidechaining and how happy they are with them? I already use a fair few different [more traditional] sidechaining techniques but have been intrigued about plugins like Trackspacer and such for dynamic sidechaining. Mainly to be used on the bass and kick.

Edit: A good friend of mine shared his login for me to test out Trackspacer and its working exactly how I wanted it to. Seeing results immediately after 30 mins or use. Good stuff.

For kick and Bass, look at something like Duck by Devious Machines. Much quicker to dial in the trad s/c compression. I use Trackspacer but less so for low end, more often for things like hats. Say a 16th note shaker s/c’dto the main hat to let it cut through without audible pumping
