HOFA-Plugins SYSTEM Ducker

HOFA-Plugins introduces the new HOFA SYSTEM Ducker, an intuitive plugin designed to duck effects such as delay and reverb precisely when needed and is also ideal for seamlessly ducking background music behind voiceovers. It offers exceptional flexibility, featuring extensive adjustment ranges for control times including lookahead (up to 1 second). Its interactive interface ensures easy operation and allows users to achieve professional results without tedious manual automation.

Key Features include:

• Flexible ducking controls: adjustable attack, hold, release, and lookahead settings provide precise control.
• Ducked chain for effects: delays, reverbs, and other effects can be applied directly within the ducked chain for automatic level management.
• External sidechain input: automatic attenuation of music when voiceover signals are detected.
• Invert mode: optional inverted mode for unique and creative sound design opportunities.

The SYSTEM Ducker excels in two key applications:

• Effect ducking: Enhance intelligibility and clarity of the mix by automatically managing the loudness of effects such as delay and reverb. Just drag the desired effect into the ducked chain, and SYSTEM Ducker will make sure the effect stands out during pauses without overpowering the original audio.
• Music ducking for voiceovers: Achieve perfect balance between voiceover and background music. Route your voice to the sidechain, adjust the settings, and the SYSTEM Ducker will automatically hold your voice clearly audible over background music.

HOFA SYSTEM Ducker is a part of the HOFA SYSTEM modular plugin platform which offers a flexible and powerful environment for audio processing. With over 30 high-quality effect modules – including EQs, compressors, reverbs and modulation – users can create custom signal chains tailored to their workflow. Unique features like drag-and-drop routing, parallel and serial processing, multiband capabilities, and mid/side options make HOFA SYSTEM an exceptionally versatile tool for mixing, mastering and sound design.

The HOFA SYSTEM Ducker is now available for download with a free trial version.
