Grovia-SC

Grovia-SC is a precise sidechain volume shaper built to resolve low-end conflicts and carve out headroom in your mixes. Powered by a 32-bit floating-point engine, it features three distinct ducking shapes—Natural, Fast, and Pump—alongside comprehensive Attack, Release, Depth, and Mix controls. Coupled with real-time visual monitoring via an FFT spectrum analyzer and a ballistic gain reduction meter, it provides reliable, clean dynamic control in a switchable, dual-size interface.

"Fully coded DSP & GUI — optimized for CPU efficiency. No images, no SVGs, no skins. Pure signal."

Lite Version Limitations: Shape, Depth, Attack, and Release controls are locked to their default settings.

Key Features

• Engine: High-precision sidechain volume shaping and dynamic envelope attenuation.

• Ducking Profiles: Three selectable envelope curves (Natural, Fast, and Pump).

• Transient Control: Precision Attack (0–50 ms) and Release (20–500 ms) controls for fine-tuning.

• Attenuation Depth: 0–100% range control for complete signal ducking or subtle dynamic control.

• Parallel Processing: 0–100% Mix blend for parallel volume shaping.

• Make-Up Gain: -12 to +12 dB of clean, high-precision output gain adjustment.

• Listen Mode: Direct sidechain monitoring path with integrated safety overrides.
