Side Chain in Live?
There were a few recent sidechaining threads, so do a search. To summarize, I have found 3 plugs that successfully sidechain in Live:
1. TC Native plugs (no longer supported or sold) has a built-in side chainer that shoots audio from one track into another, but it is built-into the plugs.
2. Voxengo's Crunchessor can sidechain.
3. Kjaerhus has a Trackplug and a Single Compressor that both sidechain. Note, their older Golden Compressor does not sidechain.
With #2 and #3, basically you have to set up two tracks in Live. Track 1 has the sidechain feed, which in your case is the kick. In Track 2, you will put whatever clip you want ducked and insert the side-chaining compressor in that track. Then you can output Track 1 into Track 2 and the sidechainer will be an option in the output submenu. When you do this, you will no longer hear Track 1 in your mix. To hear it, create another track, and make the input of that track as Track 1. Then set the monitoring on.
Hope this helps.
