Compressive Pro by Martin Eastwood (Windows)
Density mkII by Variety Of Sound (Windows)
DualComp by Teragon Audio (Mac, Windows)

Molot by vladg/sound (Mac, Windows)
ReaComp by Cockos (Windows)
Side Chain Compressor by slim slow slider (Windows)
Sidechain Compressor by Christian Budde (Windows)

All of the plugins listed above offer similar functionality, so my suggestion is to test them all out and make sure to use the one which performs best in your setup. My favorite choice is ReaComp, closely followed by Christian Budde’s Sidechain Compressor.

On the other hand, when I just need a quick sidechain compressor setup, I usually go for slim slow slider’s Side Chain Compressor plugin. The GUI clearly indicates how much compression is happening, and extremely easy to get satisfactory results with it.

Mac users will have to pick between DualComp and Mcompressor, both of which are actually pretty good choices for sidechain compression.

Many thanks to bpb reader Jackie for suggesting Density mkII and MCompressor and psilas for suggesting Molot! Free 64 bit vst plugins.
