Here's a video off Youtube on how set up Sidechain Compression in Ableton Live

Here's another useful web page to explain it.

Really does give those frequencies in drums
room to breathe.

I'm always learning new techniques as well !

let me know what you think ?
too much going on ??

how can this be improved, no eq or compression on this beat

tbh I think that sounds pretty good already. Whether or not it needs eq or compression will depend on the rest of the track.

Great tutorial.

Like i said whateva works for ya.

I cant use this technique tho as i use a lot of trax in my productions.

I cant afford to have a track dedicated to sidechaining alone.

My basic method described previously allows u to have the S/C on the trak with the sound on it. Does the same job.

Again, great tutorial.
