Trackspacer

The deal

$36 at Plugin Boutique (down from $59), 39% off. Sale ends July 15, 2026.

What it is

Trackspacer is a dynamics processor from Wavesfactory that carves out space for a lead element by analyzing a sidechain signal across 32 frequency bands and applying an inverted EQ curve to the host track in real time. Instead of ducking the whole signal like a compressor, it only pulls back the frequencies that clash with the sidechain source, so a vocal or lead can sit on top without the rest of the mix pumping.

Who it's for

Mixing engineers and producers who want vocals, solos, or lead lines to cut through a dense arrangement without hand-automating EQ moves or fighting complex multiband compressor settings.

Key features

• 32-band frequency analysis delivers transparent, targeted ducking instead of broadband gain reduction
• A single center knob controls processing depth for fast dial-in
• Pan and mid-side modes let you target specific stereo elements
• Sidechain monitoring with low/high-cut filtering keeps the trigger signal focused on the frequencies that matter
