How Do I Make A Pump/Chorus Beat?
Hello,
I'm inquiring on a trick that I would like to learn. I have a link posted below to a song that has this ever so cool "pump chorus". I've been trying to figure out how to do it, and it seems all the hit dance/pop songs are using it. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about? If you listen to the song posted in the link, skip forward to the chorus and you'll hear it. My guess is they're using a heavy compression to side chain with the kick drum... I could be totally wrong, and that's why I'm asking for some help! Thank you guys! -Justin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGghkjpNCQ8

Re: How Do I Make A Pump/Chorus Beat?
Honestly i am not sure what you mean with "pumping chorus" but if you mean the heavy limiting and side chained bass and kick then yes, that is what they did on this track. My collegue was there with Calvin when they put vocals on that song and we use that "effect" on all our edm/pop-house songs.
You just sidechain the bass with a kick and set compression VERY HARD and if you wanna make the pumping more predominant on the track just add a "key chord" to the sidechain track and set the compression accordingly Best of luck Chris

When we do that kind of trick we lay down a 3-4 note chord and sidechain that track to the same compressor/side chain comp that the kickdrum generates and that way you will have : 1 kick drum on a track with a heavy compressor. 2 side chain the bass track (send the signal from the kick track to the compressor on the bass track and the track with the chords you want to have pumping and that way you get both bass and chords sidechained from the kickdrum and it sounds awesome. You need to have the same type settings ( comp value etc ) on both the bass and the chord track so they pump in sync. We use the same settings on kick, bass and chord track compressors so we have a tight sync'd pumping and preferably a 4/4 ( 4 on the floor) beat. EDM producers and house/dance producers do this most of the time and it works great for that type of pump feel. Post back if you have any additional thoughts and I will try and help out as much as I can on that subject Best of luck Christopher PS. I got your PM and I will send you a PM as soon as I can.
