I'm not really sure how to explain this well but here goes, I was watching the CTRL-Z producer dvd that comes with Computer Music and he was showing an effect where a vocal will have a delay on, however the vocal is sidechained through the delay so whenever a word is sung the delay is cut, then at the end of sentances there will be a real nice delay tailing off.
The sound is really nice as it fills out the gaps in between the words without muddying it up when new words are sung.
The thing was that CTRL-Z didn't explain it to a way I understood as it was spoken and rushed rather than shown. As much as i understood i THINK he was using two channels to get it?? Said something about an effect over an effect?
Can anyone help on the step to step process to achieve this process in Ableton?

Hi, I'd been wanting to do something like this too. This isn't the only way to do it, but it worked ok for me:
Create a Return Track, put a delay followed by a compressor in it. On your vocal channel, turn the send to this return track all the way up.
Activate the Sidechain in the compressor and set the "Audio From" dropdown box to be from your vocal channel. Start by turning the ratio up to inf, and then adjust the threshold value downwards on the compressor to fine-tune how much delay effect you get coming through. Once you are happy with that, adjust the send level to control the overall effect in your mix.
