How can i make sidechaining / routing in drum rack ????

i want to build techno loop , but i cannot figure out how after I can sidechain / route bass compressor ???



Thanks

Personally I have an individual Impulse track set up that just plays a single kick beat continuously. I drop the sound down to zero and use this as the source for my sidechain. I haven't been able to figure out how to extract a single part of the drum rack for sidechaining yet and this is my workaround. It adds another step to drum creation but gets the job done.

when i am droping impulse to drum rack, creating chain I am losing sound


why ????


thanks

I'm trying to do this ....here's my problem

Within my drum rack I have a bunch of Samplers. In the drum rack chain selector I/O options, there is an option box that says "Audio To", but when I click on it, it says "No commands available".

What I would like to do is route audio from my bass drum chain in Drum Rack, to another audio channel for sidechaining purposes.

The problem I could see with this is that I'm sending a MIDI signal to the sampler in the rack, so it can't send "audio" (even though the samples are audio) out to another channel. That could be totally wrong though.....

Any ideas?

Keep it simple. Create a Drum Rack or Impulse with just a kick on it (or duplicate what you have already). Mute the channel and rename it "KEY". Drag it out across the entire song. Done. Now throw a Compressor on the specific sample or channel you want to be subject to the sidechain compression/ducking, enable sidechain function, choose KEY as the input key and there you go.

another tip is to make an empty audio track, that receives audio from your drum track (so it receives any kick coming from your different samplers), then route the audio of this bus to your sidechain compressor on the track you want to sidechaincompress...

I often use this workflow,

but I often also duplicate my kick track and route this clone's audio to the compressor.

good luck
