  • Interesting.  I've heard a similar effect done by doing compressor sidechaining - never done it with a gate. Sounds like a "harder" version of the former. Good stuff.

  • Hi there - yes we have a couple of tutorials on this too! Enjoy!

  • ..and i thought sidechaining is only available on the compressor. lol this is very nice!

  • @KATOMATE01 i laughed too lol

  • Excellent technique -- I love it !!!

    Thank you for presenting this ... I can make use of it right away I'm sure !!!

    :-)

  • Wow now I have to test side chaining on everything possible.. Waiting to get my hands on Abbleton...

  • Great tutorial man, its really easy to understand.

  • gate is such an obnoxious device to use correctly. Thanks for this quick tutorial explaining the main effect of each parameter and how Hold correlates with sidechain.

  • Can you sidechain kicks/drums what have you with vocals in Ableton. If i put an acapella in one channel can i sidechain my kick so it perfectly aligns thru the song?

  • @DJFAMOUS88 it comes with it lol

  • cool dude....actually something you could use and you didn't ramble on forever about it.....to the point, i like that.
