I dont agree with you here. I consider myself to be a very serious artist (when it come to my music and my production) and I've done a big number of releases - most without Sidechain and IMO they sound pretty good without. You can easily live without Sidechain.

When that is said. I also use Sidechain and like the way I can raise the Kick inthe mix (I use it especially in House and Tech House). But it's certainly not a must (and I dont make fast bpm music).

agree with beat agency about sidechain beeing just one more technique that can be usefull but not a must.
it s a bit off topic but worht mention it, a different "term" of sidechain is to let the compressor react only to a frequency range its very usefull in many occasions.

when the drummer is playing his bass-drum i use to play softer on the bass, but now instead we connected a string to the foot pedal to a plate on the bass which mutes the strings when he plays his bass-drum, we are considering connecting this string to all instruments now, to get this acoustic sidechain
Also the drummer thought it would be a good idea to attach the string around the singers neck so he also gets "chained" when the almighty bass-drum is playing...
Maybe someone got a better solution? we use Cubase 5

wow, that's a cool idea. i think you should attach the strings from the drummers sticks to the singers neck and let the drummer play a fast pattern on the hihats. that'd make some killargh stuttering effect on the vocals! |

ok maybe not a must in the litteraly sense of the word but i could live without sidechain or even many other fx/tools but eq is kinda of necessity in the music production world!

not when using the synth filter perfectly
or when not trying to get ultra-super-loud mix..
offcourse its better to have everything and to process things but rules is the one thing i cant stand in music production , it makes entire genres to sound same shitty 'tricks and blips' , somewhat all psy genres fall in that trap except unique producers that can do anything nice (aka haltya or perfect stranger which did in-between styles and always sounds great)
i also might add that in bizzare non logical way hardware (yet digital) synths like nord and virus "sit" better in the mix from the very initial patch then 95% of the vst www.sattelbattle.com
