Eyh!
As you probly know there are many ways to sidechain your kick & bass ( compressor, EQ, volume, vst plugins...)
And I was wondering what is your favorite method of sidechaining? Are there any reason why you prefer a method over another one ??
As of now, I put a compressor on my bass and link it to my kick. It works well.
I used to put a high-pass filter on the bass that would be activated by the kick, but the results were sometimes weird.
I din't like it too much.
Please share your experience !!
I use Cubase for anyone wondering. |

Hi
When working in Ableton Live I put a compressor on the bass channel and it is set to control the sidechain by a kick. Most often by a duck kick that is deactivated/muted.
I use a compressor because it can control ratio that is important in pads and atmos etc.
But for bass I change nothing other than the threshold. Do anyone else change something other then thrs on bass?
But simple velocity could do the trick as well when it comes to only sidechaining the volume.
I will also bounce my kicks to audio and cut them if needed so it won't overlap the bass notes as well rather then putting a sidechain on eq. But that is just my method.

It sounds very nice if you use side chain on down- and uplifters though not with the link to kick but to the snare. Sounds very nice. |

recently I use side chain with automatic gain compensation, fat results detected. but have to bear that in mind all the time cause sidechained signal can go out of control some times
