Default Re: Side Chains!

The most common use of sidechain is to marry a bass track with a kick drum track, thru a compressor, or gate...the idea being that the bass doesnt sound untill the gate or compressor opens making a tighter performance sound.(50's and 60's country used this alot). To try it make your bass track send to...lets say 11 or 12, then make a aux track and set the input to trk 11/12 out to master usually 1/2. now put a compressor on this track and set the sidechain input to your kick drum track...it will trigger from the kick NOT the bass but will only effect the bass not the kick.
Have fun man
