For the volume automation effect, there are 16 hand-crafted modulation curves that you can apply on the track. Using the Kickstart plugin is not that difficult, and in just a few uses you will become perfect in it. How does the Kickstart VST plugin generate the pumping effect? But the technique through which it creates pumping is by employing various volume ducking curves on the track. However, the Kickstart isn’t precisely a Sidechain compression as there is no signal sent for generating compression. At the time when the signal used to trigger the compressor exceeds a specific dB where the threshold exists then the second track put to silence. The signal from one track helps in energizing the compressor set on another track. The compression or the pumping sound generates the track by using the other track. In case you are searching, what a Sidechain compression does then it is a built-in feature in some VST to get the effect of extreme pumping sound. Kickstart is somewhat a side chain VST which is visually appealing and has a user interface that only some plugins provide. To get the licensed version of this plugin you have to spend €10 or $15. This plugin is in the 32 and 64-bit format which smoothly runs on Windows 7/8 or MAC OS 10.8 and above versions.
