Hi everyone! :)br
I really hope that you guys can help me out here, since this is a really annoying problem.br
The problem is, that when ever i slap on a compressor and route it to my sidechain kick, it seems that the tempo of the one particular sound is thrown off beat?br
At first i just tried to fix it by fiddling around with the parameters of the compressor. that didn’t work. Then i checked if the sidechain kick was aligned - it is.br
and when i bypass the compressor, the problem is still there - it is only fixed by completely removing the compressor from the mixer - then everything is back in tempo, perfectly.br
Also, i have only encountered this problem in this particular project.br
What to do?!br
br
Note: Im working in Logic pro. with the standard compressor.br
Also im using Ultrabeat’s default kick to trigger the sidechain. The kick has been turned into a click, by removing decay and release and then routed to a “no output”-channel.
I would try getting rid of Ultrabeat, and start by just using a audio file kick sample on a standard audio channel to trigger the sidechain compressor.br
br
My hunch is that maybe something to do with Ultrabeat is causing some kind of glitch - i say this as Ultrabeat is notoriously over-complex and i noticed when i used to use it, that when you load up default patches and sounds they can be really complex with all sorts of settings tweaked - so maybe something about Ultrabeat is causing this issue.br
br
Try just a really simple kick sample instead.
Now i’ve tried the trick you gave me.br
I just simply bounced my Kick from the track and used that sample instead of the Ultrabeat.br
Unfortunately - the problem is still there.br
But thank you for your quick reply and suggestion
How far out is it? Sure you’ve for the attack setup correctly???
Alright… So now, after many hours of fiddling around, It has finally been done!br
I have sidechained it, and it’s in time!br
Now the thing is, I have no clue, what so ever to how the hell and what the hell i did to acheive it?br
But, the product sounds awesome… Still this thread now seems a bit irrelevant :Pbr
But none the less, thank you for your time, effort and help! I really do appreciate it!br
Cheers!br
