the internal massive seq can be used as an ghost kick..or better the internal sequenzer from the lfo/stepseq. etc can be the trigger for the sidechain signal.

:) so how could you set this up? If you have 5 mins could you post up a short step by step to get it working - sounds very interesting!!

And don't say it's not the same, as you want to use a compressor as an fx, that's it.

Written by Airwave on Sept 22, updated today:

"Well well well

in fact, THERE IS a sidechain compressor, hidden somewhere in Live, and you wouldn't believe this, it really makes wonders for dance music, but unfortunately not for anything else..

Forget about comp II for 5 minutes. Insert AutoPan, set the rate to 1/4, with a sine-waveform, set the angle to O° first. OF course remove the L to R effect, unsuitable here. . Set the shape as you want it, to emulate the release of compression, while you can set the angle to 60, 70° to simulate slower attacks. Increase the amount slowly until you get the amount of "comp" that you want.

it really helps. So you guys wondering why the ableton ppl didn't go for sidechain compression plugins in L6?? I think this more or less explains why!

I am not sure but I didn't find this little tip back in the forum pages... maybe someone could post a link if there's 1?? "

sorry but that's not the same:
thats cool, but if so you can draw automation too
its the same only if your kick is alawys four on the flor, wich is boring

if my kick go 4/4 then break 6/4 1 /4ect, the autopan will still be locked to 4-4, with no interaction between the two parts, that is essence of sidechaining, excpecially for live perf.
