Cableguys VolumeShaper 4 impresses with its powerful multi-band amplitude sculpting capabilities and intuitive design, making it a versatile tool for producers. Despite a limited number of presets, its ability to create complex modulations and rhythmic textures outshines this minor shortfall. At just $40, it's a must-have for those looking to enhance their audio production toolkit.

Cableguys VolumeShaper 4 review | MusicRadar

Cableguys VolumeShaper 4 is a versatile tool that impresses with its multiband functionality and excellent waveshape design, earning it a spot as a go-to plugin. While its price is attractive, users may find the lack of a manual and absence of scaling in displays a bit cumbersome. Despite these minor drawbacks, its powerful rhythm and dynamics manipulation capabilities make it a winner for creative sound shaping.

Detailed "Sidechaining"

When adjusting character of my kicks, the Volume Shaper 4 proves to be the solution for me.

I can adjust the character in different bands. So if i want the lows to be more dynamic and i want the mids and highs to be intact, i can separate the kick in different bands and adjust the character from there.

Honestly it beats the c*** out of Nicky's "Kickstart" and also the "LFOTOOL"
