Sub & sidechaining techniques for Ableton Live 8 part 1- key and timing

[zawmbees]

I still don't get what sidechaining does...

@zawmbees As best as I can explain it...sidechaining is telling the program to recognize the peaks or hits of a kick or whatever you choose to sidechain, so that another parameter of a different instrument can be altered by that peaking. In this instance, the kick's peaks are sidechained so that a steady sub-bass can be played in the background & it's volume will decrease as soon as the kick hits. This way, the sub-bass & kick don't drown eachother out in the mix.

Absolutely beautiful tutorial... LOVE how you get into detail about every parameter!

cheers mate, very useful tutorial, my kicks always seemed to clash with my basslines, now i know why ;-)

quick question, i presume that the auto filter is used only to allow you to match the kick and sub bass frequencies?? and therefore is deleted after this is achieved? otherwise it completely screws my kick drum to sound nothing like the way it was (and how i wanted it to sound!) before.

thanks again
