why doing this ?==
why not using simples compressor then EQ .. with a 15 bands eq .. to get a bether defenition ???
why a compressor with sidechain EQ ?
sometimes the more easyer the bestier |

A simple de-esser yes.
GTN,
what Darkpsy offered is a good way.
You want to compress a certain freq range?
or do you want the sidechain to recieve a certain frequency?
whatever, the way to do it is putting an EQ before or after the compressor.
Basicly what do you want to do?

Lemme guess - compress just the bass frequencies of a bassline with a kick in the sidechain?

ok here u guys go ...
basically you could use this for any 2 sounds that u want to experiment with ... maybe kik / bass , or 2 samples in a groove or 2 synth leads ...
now my situation is tht ... i have 2 synth leads playing @ the same time ... and they some what occupy the same freq. range more or less ..
i tried using seperate eq settings on both of them , but the things is tht there is this compensation taking place on the sound that i dont like...
for example of i eq both of the 2 leads in such a way tht they dont clash , 1 sound may loose its bite and they other sound looses its shimmer ...
so i thought , wat if i could eq sound 1 in such a way as i exactly wanted it to , without bothering about the 2nd sound .. and then apply tht same eq to a compressor with a sidechain eq on sound 2 ...
so basically when sound 1 is playing eq;ed to my taste , the compressor on sound 2 compresses those freqs that sound 1 is tuned to , thereby making sound 2 more clear than b4 ... i hope u guys got wat i had to say ..
hope i made sense ...
i know this method works and i seen ppl do it in pro tools , only thinking how its possible in nuendo !
respect .. boom ! |

maybe some combination like eq - coompressor - eq will work .... but then i want to do least processing on the sound ...
but if thts the only way out ... i might have to go with it ,,,
lemme know wat u guys think !
love this forum

This http://www.db-audioware.com/dbd.htm has a real side-chain. You could use two of these. One just to pass the signal to the side-chain of the other (with an EQ plugin before) and the other one doing the actual compression.
It isn't very CPU efficient to have an extra compressor just for a side-chain but at least it should do what you want.

GTN you just stumbled on one of the weaknesses of VST. There isn't a real support for making a side-chain in a plug-in. If you'll find one, it going to hack the VST system. I'm not sure if it's worth it. That said, I think that Logic plug-ins are capable of doing that, but that's not going to help you.

what you need to do then:
is to seperate sound's 1 special frequency range into 2 channels (or more if you need) - this is done by sending the sound into 2 channels with different EQ frequency ranges cut down.
when first doing that, you need to be sure that you did a correct freq seperation - fine tune and adjust untill they are seperated.
Once they are, you can run a compressor on one of the channels its freqs u've seperated. The compressor will compress only that range of frequencies - using a sidechain or not using a sidechain it's your choice.
Basicly as if you've made a 2 band compressor now - manually.
Hope it helps ur goal.
