Does something like this even exist?

Hey guys I was wondering if there is a tool which is like this:

Lets say you have a midrange bassline which is kinda flat and you have a vocal going on top with peaks around 500-1000 HZ ad around lets say 3-4 KHZ.
The peaks are moving with the melody which is being sang. Is there a tool which would react like this: When the vocal has its peak at the given moment at @ 560 hz and the other peak at lets say 3.5khz it would duck those frequencies automatically from the other channel like something sidechain eqing which would duck the incoming coming signal's peak frequencyies from the the stuff it is applied on? I know it can be done with automatisation and a multiband compressor but that automation would be a pain in the ass to write. It would be the dream mixing tool for me

Bests,
Alex

How would the tool know which frequencies you'd want to duck unless you specifically specified the frequency?

Hence the use of a Multiband Compressor.

You would specifiy a treshhold. So only the tones which go above that would be ducked?

Yea i know that this can be done with multiband compression but you have to automate the bands to be ducked to be in synch with the tones of the notes being sang.

You could just setup a template for future use.

Yep, that definitely would help although I still do hope that some1 who makes plugins reads this coz it would be awesome to have something like what i described

It does exist but I forget the details at the moment and don't have time to look it up. I wanna say Voxengo or Melda maybe? There's also Dynamic Spectrum Mapper which might be able to do it although that might rely on snapshots instead of real time.

Thanks for the heads up buddy, thats a good starting point for the researching about it

guess I can spend the last few hours at work digging more info up on this subject will share it here when i find something

There's a spectral plugin that does it I think. I remember something where you can invert the spectrum of one track to make cuts in another. Maybe I was thinking of DSM. There's also MAutoDynamicEQ from Melda and Soniformer/GlissEQ from Voxengo.

For some reason I still feel like I'm forgetting one plugin that does exactly this. Driving me crazy. Hopefully someone else will know.

I think you need to think more about how sound and dynamics work.

Midrange bassline is also an oxymoron

Bet you can slap that together in Reason. Some kind of frequency dependent sidechain compressor.

this sounds like mixing-cheating....

Can you make the big one available for quotation? So tired, one of my eyes is crusted shut, can't go looking for large photo.
