Dusseldorf, Germany, rockruepel sidechain.one has been announced as a finalist for the 38th Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Awards in the category of Outstanding Technical Achievement. Presented at The NAMM Show, The NAMM TEC Awards are bestowed annually in celebration of the pro audio community by recognizing the individuals, companies, and technical innovations behind today’s sound recordings, live performances, films, television, video games, and other media.
“rockruepel keeps breaking bounderies with quality and point on products for the professional studio environment. The sidechain.one is our first collaboration with Luca Pretolesi of Studio DMI, making sidechain compression as easy as any plugin,” said Heger, CEO, MasteringWorks GmbH.
The announcement follows a four-month call for entries of standout technical products and projects that have made a significant impact on modern sound and music. A panel of respected industry voters from pro audio publications, as well as members of professional music, technical and creative organizations, along with select NAMM members, carefully evaluated each entry before selecting [rockruepel, sidechain.one] as a finalist.
The sidechain.one is one of the only compressors build around a full bandwidth filter in the sidechain with the ability to precisely select which frequencies trigger the compressor. It is fully analog and as much fun as a digital plug in.
All finalists will be celebrated at The 2023 NAMM Show at the TEC Experience, a special, communal reception designed to gather the crossroads of the industry to applaud the achievements of the researchers and developers, product designers, marketers, and innovators behind the innovations. The event, which is open to all NAMM Show attendees and precedes the return of the TEC Awards in 2024, will be held on the campus of the Anaheim Convention Center on the evening of Thursday, April 13.
