sidechain compression (SC)
sidechain compression (SC)
hey wassup??? i have a problem controlling my SC.
i assume that the use of a SC is to make for example a bassline 'dip' when the kick 'kicks in' .
but my problem is that when i use the Sidechain Compression on my bassline i can hear the drop of volume on it evrytime my drum kicks in.
What's wrong with the way i use it?
I have heard a lot of a sidechained bassline and none of them was droping when the kicks were kicking. (lololololol).
Can anybody out there help me?

sorry for the delay but humm... what i am actually trying to do is compress my bassline the ''good way''. i.e by using a sidechain compression. but when i use it, the effect is too noticeable, so i am going to try playing the comp settings like snakedogman suggested for that case.
are there some other tricks?

you sound a bit confused...
and theni assume that the use of a SC is to make for example a bassline 'dip' when the kick 'kicks in'
I don't see why that's a problem since you've correctly assumed that that's what was going to happen...my problem is that when i use the Sidechain Compression on my bassline i can hear the drop of volume on it evrytime my drum kicks in

the problem is that I don't want to hear this drop of volume. I want the SC to act, but I don't want it to make my bass sound like i was messing around with the volume fader if you understand what i am trying to say.ollyb303 wrote: I don't see why that's a problem since you've correctly assumed that that's what was going to happen...

what i meant by that is: can i use some other effects or tools to achieve the same result which is ''crystal clear sound''?Lo-Fi Massahkah wrote: Nope. That's the trick. Those dials are there to be twisted. The plug can hardly know your kick and bass sound and do the settings for you.

this isn't really what side chain compression is meant to do. if you put such a hard cut on your bass, you might get clicks, or it migh sound akward. if you want your kick to have more presence, right click your instrument, group it, then add a sub kick to it( something like an 808) then add a click to it( maybe a short burst of white noise cut off at 2-5k)blingstef wrote:the problem is that I don't want to hear this drop of volume.

then, Highpass your bass off at 200 hz. this will stop the frequencies from competing in your system, and you should get a nice clear bass, with a good clear thud.
woooo so much tips here i will try them all for sure.
Thx for the answers, i have a good point where to start
