The Woodman Woodpressor audio unit has a nifty little sidechain feature and it’s super easy to use. I chose to do this in Cubasis but it works the same in other apps like AUM for example.

What do you do when you need the sidechain pumping effect in an iOS DAW that doesn’t have sidechaining? Pumphouse to the rescue! Pumphouse allows you to draw an envelope via step sequencer for your pumping effect so really it’s more or a less an amplitude modulator envelope.
Pumphouse is a simple and excellent compressor (taken straight from our RoughRider 2 codebase) coupled with a step sequencer driving an envelope generator. In this manner, you can sidechain-compress your pads or bassline against a 1-measure pattern, no other inputs required.
With an easy-to-understand interface, Pumphouse is a quick method for getting That Sound.
Pumphouse requires transport information to work. Please note that some iOS AUv3 hosts do not have a transport. (At this time, Auria Pro that we’re aware of.) There is an Inter-App Audio version supplied, but it also requires transport info.
Tested and approve the AUv3 with AudioBus 3, Cubasis, GarageBand, AUM, ModStep, Zmors Modular, and Beatmaker 3.

In February I published a video review of No Limits limiter by the same developer DDMF. DDMF is known for quality effects with a realistic looking interface. This time around we have NY Compressor by DDMF. NYCompressor is a professional sounding compressor audio unit for iOS. It is compatible with Garageband, Cubasis, AuriaPro and other AUv3 hosts. The NYCompressor is the ideal workhorse when it comes to dynamics management in a mix. From gentle compression for glueing your mix together to heavy drum compression for the ultimate punch: NYCompressor can do it all.
Features:
– Compression ratio up to 1:10.
– Optional key signal filtering.
– True sidechaining (4 inputs, needs to be supported by host)
– Hard/soft knee.
– Parallel (New York) compression.
– Independent L/R or Mid/Side compression.
