Side Chain Compression in Ableton 6 Question

sam flanagan · Post by **sam flanagan** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:23 pm

So I notice that Ableton 7 has a new side chain feature on some of the effects...

Can I do this in Ableton 6?

I dont mind if its a long way round.

I want to do the obvious and side chain compress a bassline so that it dips in volume during my kick drum samples and gives the kick a bit more room in the mix.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Sam

Use a VST compressor.

Any freeware ones out and about?

Would it be rude of me to ask how to set it up?

Cheers
