Our verdict on Wavesfactory Trackspacer
When competing sounds crowd the same frequencies, Wavesfactory Trackspacer offers a targeted way to create separation: it analyzes a sidechain signal and applies an inverse 32-band EQ curve to the track carrying the plugin. It is aimed at producers, recording engineers and mixers working in compatible DAWs on macOS or Windows, especially those who want spectral ducking rather than a broader suite of mixing effects. A frequency spectrum and reduction display helps show how the processing responds.
The controls make the effect adjustable without changing its central purpose. Amount, low-cut and high-cut filters, and attack and release settings shape the response; stereo, left/right and mid/side processing offer options for how it treats the signal. A freeze function can hold a static EQ reduction. Authorization uses a serial number without iLok. Trackspacer is available in VST, VST3, AU and AAX formats, with listed integrations including Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, Reaper, Bitwig, Digital Performer, Studio One, FL Studio and Maschine. That format and DAW coverage suits varied studio setups, provided the host supports sidechain input.
The published price is €59 as a one-time purchase for the Trackspacer plan. There is no free plan; the vendor offers a downloadable demo with periodic noise and no parameter saving. Its narrow scope is the main trade-off: Trackspacer is a dedicated spectral-ducting tool, not a general-purpose EQ or mixing bundle. Choose it if you specifically want sidechain-reactive inverse EQ and will use its filtering and stereo controls. If you need a wider range of effects, this single-purpose plugin is less likely to fit your needs.
