So I've had xfer's LFOTool for quite a while now, and recently purchased cableguys' volume shaper (because I liked the interface so much).
I've typically used them for sidechaining sound elements to the kick, but I know that LFOTool especially has a lot of different options (trancegate, stutter fx, etc.) that I've not utilized.
Other than typical sidechain ducking and transient shaping (e.g. shorten the bass tail of a long kick), how have you used these plugins? And do you have a preference between the two?
