Nicky Romero and Cableguys should be very proud of their handy work and I applaud them for creating Kickstart in such a compelling fashion. It’s cheap, it’s effective, and best of all it has an incredibly intuitive and visual layout. Kickstart, honestly, is the simplest sidechain solution available to anyone right now. While not as advanced as KICK, Kickstart is a unique little sidechain VST effect plug-in that has no real competition on the market. Nicky Romero’s second attempt at creating a plug-in is easily as successful as his first.
