hey adam i was wondering can you use this effect without using ultrabeat? say i want to use my sounds from native maschine can i still sidechain it to a lead synth and have the same effect or do i have to do something extra? thanks your videos help beginner producers like me learn techniques i would have to pay and travel to learn :D

[imamusicmogul]

@MrNhienLe yes you can! that is what is so good about side chaining all you have to do is send out the audio via a bus and bring in on a compressor on the track that you want to control... Let me know if that asnwers your questions..

Is there any way you could do this to an mp3? I want to get the song have the pulse, but everytime i use the kick to get the pulse, I have the kick drum signal coming through. I tried putting the kick to "No Output" and tried turning off the sequencer in Ultrabeat. Any ideas?

[imamusicmogul]

@jmotter92 You mean you just want the synth to pulse but you don't want the kick to be in the mix??

Thanks man your awesome. Say I had a question. Could you use this for hip hop, like instead of the synth maybe it would be deep sub bass. Because sometimes layering the bass with the kick sounds like shit. Most of the time I just create a sub bass kick in ultrabeat. But I was wondering if this same technique could work to punch the kick through the bass. Peace

[imamusicmogul]

@Zombiebrainstew that is exactly what you do and many do that technique on their drums!!!

Sir you just solved me a great problem. Thank you so much. thumbs up for this great tutorial.

hey this was great thanks. If the synth i want to pulse has reverb or delay on it, how can I get the effect to pulsate as well? Thanks!

Hey adam how do you feel about waves plugins?

[BIGCTV18]

thanks helped so much :)

I'm getting some weird delay thing with the effect. It starts off in rhythm but as the loop goes on there's something going wrong with it.
