Simplify sidechaining
Submerge makes sidechaining straightforward with three trigger options: MIDI, audio and auto-tempo sync. Set the tempo-sync mode to automatically match the rhythm of your DAW, or trigger ducking manually via MIDI input or audio signals from other tracks. This allows quick and easy alignment of dynamics to beats, creating rhythmic cohesiveness within your productions. The intuitive trigger selection means you can adapt Submerge effortlessly to your preferred workflow, whether you're producing energetic EDM, chilled house beats, or heavy trap arrangements. Achieve clear mixes without complicated routing or setup.
Eight built-in effects
Explore new sonic possibilities using Submerge’s eight onboard creative effects. Add character instantly through filtering, sample-rate reduction, gain manipulation and more. Apply subtle effects to refine your audio, or dramatically reshape sounds for distinctive, memorable results. This eliminates the need for external effect plugins, streamlining your workflow and enhancing creativity. Integrated controls make it easy to adjust and blend effects precisely, achieving professional-sounding results quickly without cluttering your production environment. It’s all about keeping your process simple yet flexible enough to let creativity flow.
Customise easily with adjustable curves
Submerge offers three selectable control curves, letting you shape ducking effects exactly as required. Whether you need a gentle reduction to subtly highlight a kick drum, or an extreme pumping rhythm for intense electronic tracks, simply choose your preferred curve and fine-tune accordingly. By holding SHIFT when selecting curves, you can invert the ducking effect entirely, causing your sound to push forward instead of ducking, opening up further rhythmic creativity. Quickly switch and audition different intensities to discover what suits your mix best, saving valuable production time.
Independent mid-side control
With independent centre and side-channel processing, Submerge lets you precisely shape your stereo image. Apply sidechain ducking separately to mid or side elements to control clarity and width. Highlight vocals clearly in your centre image while creatively ducking stereo elements such as synth pads, enhancing overall spatial perception. This detailed control helps achieve professional-sounding mixes by providing separation and depth without complicated processing. Effortlessly experiment and discover optimal balance, achieving clean, spacious and dynamic soundscapes that resonate perfectly across playback systems.
