DeeSideIn – A unique plugin for manipulating audio signals
Dotec-Audio’s DeeSideIn is not just another effect or tool in your plug-in collection. It’s an innovative tool that gives you unprecedented control over the flow of your audio signal, allowing you to insert, mix, and split audio at any point in your processing chain. If you’ve ever felt limited by the standard routing capabilities of your DAW or wanted more flexibility when working with complex effects chains, DeeSideIn can be your indispensable tool.
A new level of flexibility in sound processing
Forget about linear signal processing that is dictated by the order of plug-ins in your workflow. DeeSideIn opens the door to non-linear workflows, allowing you to intervene in the audio stream exactly where you need it. This plugin breaks down traditional limitations, providing music creators and sound engineers with a powerful tool to realize the most daring mixing and sound design ideas. Its unique functionality allows you to achieve results that would be extremely difficult or even impossible using only the standard features of digital audio workstations.
Key features of DeeSideIn:
- Insert and mix anywhere: The main idea of the plug-in is to be able to “cut” a signal and insert another sound or mix at that point. This opens up a lot of creative applications, from creating complex parallel processing chains to integrating external signals into the middle of an insert. You can, for example, insert an additional layer of harmonics or a sound effect after the compressor but before the EQ, precisely controlling the effect on the final sound.
- Combine harmonies and drums: You can use DeeSideIn to mix different elements of a track, such as harmony parts or different drum kit components (such as direct and room mics), in the middle of processing one of the signals. This allows you to achieve a more integrated sound than simply mixing signals on separate tracks before inserting them. This is especially useful for working with multi-layered sounds or complex drum parts where you need to subtly integrate different elements.
- Split the sound to another audio track: This function allows you to send a part of the signal or a processed signal from a certain point in the chain to a completely new track for further independent processing. Imagine you are processing vocals and at a certain stage you want to send only the dry signal or the signal after compression to another track for reverb without affecting other effects in the current chain. DeeSideIn makes this possible by giving you unprecedented control over signal routing to create complex and layered effects.
- Insert and mix audio after effects: Even after you’ve applied a series of effects to your audio, DeeSideIn allows you to insert or mix additional signal at that exact point in the chain. This is extremely useful for creating unique effects, layering sounds, or adding specific elements that need to interact with an already processed signal. For example, you can add an additional layer of synth pad or sound effect directly after a distortion chain on a guitar to create a unique texture that blends seamlessly into the overall sound.
Practical applications and creative potential
The capabilities of DeeSideIn go far beyond simple routing. This plugin can be a powerful tool for:
- Complex mixing: Create parallel compression, multi-band processing, mix the original signal with processed versions at any stage. It is ideal for creating parallel processing chains, which is a key element in modern mixing to achieve sound density and presence.
- Sound design: Experiment with layering sounds, integrating external sources, creating unique effect chains that would not have been possible without the use of complex manipulations in a DAW. DeeSideIn opens up new horizons for sound experimentation.
- Work with drums: Combine different drum microphone signals to create a denser or more surround sound even before the main mixing stage. This allows you to better integrate the individual elements of your drum kit.
- Vocal processing: Easily create duplicate tracks with different processing, split the signal for specific effects (for example, splitting or reverb only a part of the spectrum or dynamic range). DeeSideIn makes complex vocal processing techniques more accessible and flexible.
DeeSideIn breaks the mold of conventional signal processing, giving you the freedom to realize your wildest ideas. It is compatible with major plug-in formats (VST, AU) and works on Windows (64-bit) and MacOS platforms, providing wide accessibility for users of various DAWs.
If you are looking for a tool that will expand your mixing and sound design capabilities, allow you to experiment with signal routing and create unique processing chains, be sure to try DeeSideIn by Dotec-Audio. This is an unusual but extremely useful plugin that can change your approach to working with sound, giving you the creative freedom you’ve been missing.
