Re: A way to side-chain the lower end of a sound?

I've been wondering this for a while. Say I have a thick pad sound and a heavy kick drum. Rather than just side-chain it so the volume of the pad is lowered when the kick comes in, is there a way of setting up an EQ on the pad so it's lower frequency only is cut when the kick comes in. That way the...

Re: A way to side-chain the lower end of a sound?

When it comes to phase... ...if it sounds ok to your ears and everything is fine when you check the mix in mono... Then it's really no problem, right? if it sound ok to your ears then fine.. but remember to A/B test the original audio.. as some "smearing" may occur.. this is a culmative e...

Re: A way to side-chain the lower end of a sound?

you have more control using eq8.. and it's dependent on the filter types... but generally for dialing the desired sound its better.. you can minimize damages by handling q.. ideally.. in general to retain phase relations..you would use eq / multiband fx sparingly... for blunt fx.. i personally find ...

Re: More creative drum patterns

go freestyle with the pads over your tunes... have only a 4/4 muted kick to guide you..
use quantize sparingly..always move forward and record what you're doing..
later on.. make loops from it and put all the nice variations to use

Re: A way to side-chain the lower end of a sound?

Thank you! That's great. I suppose my next question... Is this a valid mixing technique? Is this something people actually do? I have this one track that is particular heavy due to a rather powerful pad. Doing the normal side chain with the kick doesn't work as I don't want the pad to duck in and o...

Re: A way to side-chain the lower end of a sound?

btw .. phase issues will also occur when using a simple filter..
only way to avoid is to use devices linear-phase behavior...which take considerably more cpu and added latency..
this is also true for multiband compressors crossovers...
so there's always a trade-off.. I say use your ears...

Re: A way to side-chain the lower end of a sound?

but if the kick coming in is predictable... might as well draw in freq automation on the clip :wink: although you can reach some very happy mistakes using the envelope follower... That is very true. And obviously the simplest approach in many ways. I really like the envelope following idea though, ...
