sidechain compressor

[locket]

Hey, im just wanting to learn how to sidechain compress and before i can even learn how to do that i need to find the compressor that does it lol, iv looked in my compressor folder and it isnt there, the guy i was watching do it on youtube was using sprecifically a sidechain compressor plug in, but i cant find, is it anywere else apart from in the compressor folder.

Sorry for the inane question but im just a little stuck

Iv found the sidechain little triangle on the side but it doesnt say its a sidechain compressor just a compressor, is that ok.

Its ok thanks iv pretty much worked it out, on the video it had a sidechain compressor with it written down the side but you can use any of them it seems.

i have started using a new method of sidechaining that may be useful..

create and audio channel, set it as 'in' with the in/out and then with the audio 'from' channel set your kick channel (or whatever you want your sound sidechained too..). Next, place a compressor on the 'audio' channel and then whatever channels you wanted sidechained route them internally to that audio track in the 'audio to' section of any of your channels.. with the compressor on your audio channel you can then play with your attack/release/threshold to get your desired effect..

i find this to work best.

cheers
