What it is
MD/E Monolith Duck/Expand is a mixing and mastering plugin from Ayaic's M3 Breakout Series that creates hard-limited duck/expand groups you can apply to any track in your session. It runs as a standalone processor that links multiple instances together so they act as one entity, letting you build sidechain-style ducking or expansion relationships across an entire mix without routing buses manually.
Who it's for
Mix engineers and producers who lean on sidechain compression or ducking as a regular part of their workflow, especially those managing busy arrangements with vocals, bass, and kick competing for space. It also suits mastering engineers who want tighter control over dynamic relationships between elements without building complex signal chains.
Key features
- Multiple MLP instances link together and function as a single entity across the session
- Level-plane buttons speed up gain-stage adjustments across linked channels
- All Channels, This Channel, and Group Learn/Mix/Lock options give granular control over which tracks respond together
- Self mode adds compressor-style level riding, Free mode offers time-based Attack/Release, and Sync mode locks Attack/Release to host tempo with a fast .07ms Attack option
