Ableton Forum

Does anyone know if this is possible in live 5? It's something I really miss from my logic days. Any help would be appreciated.

Peace,

neodynium audiounit only sorry
but it sidechains very nicely

my favourite effect!

f youve got reqaktor 5 you can set it up with ableton to do the job - theres a tutorial on this forum somwehre.

Quantum fx includes sidechain compression on OSX

Vanilla compressor. I'm at work so i have to type this quickly...sorry no link

The Golden Audio Channel by Kjaerhus allows sidechain compression. Seems to work in Live 5. I have only tried the demo and have not bought it because I'm hoping Elemental Audio will implement sidechain options for Neodynium VST version.

Have a look at these free ones:

or this one

Check also the sidechain gate from ismusic, they all work great in Live 5 here.

The two Kjaerhus compressors that offer sidechaining work REALLY well. Also, there's Voxengo's Crunchessor that does the trick nicely.

Also, I have to say that Live is probably the easiest host in which you can set up true sidechaining.

One last note, if you're doing 4x4 house, then you can use Autopanner with zero phase and at 180 degrees at 1/4 note, and it will gate on every kick. A nice trick for quick ducking.

Thanks for your help dudes!

I tried it with Reaktor as AU in mac and it didn't work. I think it's because it won't allow multiple ins, but as VST (Reaktor 5 surround) it works wonders.

Thanx for the link, especialy the addendum at the bottom is helpfull!
Until now I´ve always created an additional audiotrack with the routing "audio from drum track to comp track comp input", wich gets inaudible then, but this is more unflexible like the send trick.

...so you're saying that AU-version for mac has it already? Just wondering, because it could save me from downloading the demo...time is money, u know

check out Sidekick VST. It let's you do some great basic ducking and gating.

Metric Halo Channel Strip does sidechain compression for Mac, and today's the last day of the LUG group buy, you can get Channel Strip at 50% off.
