Sidechain pain!

hi everyone,

hope everyone is good!!

just a quick question,i want to run a contionuos sidechain compressor across my track with just one side chain compressor!!!

so when i have a string breakdown etc… i can still have them pumping effect??

basically at the moment i set the input from my drums but ofcourse when the breakdown hits there is no drums so it goes loud quick lol

please help S.A

THANKS

I have what I call a pump track - have a kick loop and duplicate it all the way through your track _ I actually have this set up as a template - mute it and then you can use this a a sidechain track



Hope that makes sense

so on your pump track do you just add a compressor then turn down volume and turn the sidechain on and send all your inputs to that pump track??

you can also use the autopan plugin… tech tip 17

will check that out mate,i thought you could use impulse to do it?? save drawing across the whole track??

This is what I do.

Duplicate my kick track. Freeze and flatten the duplicate and name it Silent Kick.

Check the audio loop is looped, then drag it all the way along my arraignment.

Turn off the track activator (yellow box with a number in) of the Silent kick.

Set the Sidechain on the compressor to Silent kick and Post FX (not Post mixer).

Why freeze and flatten? If you zoom right in to the kick in the arrainge mode, you can see how long the kick is in seconds and from that it gives a good starting point for the release of the compressor.

THIS. on the money ant.

That template idea is a good one.



Impulse on track 1. Load it with a kick (preferably the one you will use in the project). Rename the track SCKick.

Program a clip with some 4 to the flour beat. Let the Audo to send only.

Sidechain everything that needs to be sidechained to that SCKick track.
