http://www.vespers.ca Find out how to use side chaining compression in Cubase 4. This tutorial shows a technique called ducking to compress bass to allow the kick drum to punch through, commonly used in dance music.

I have Cubase studio 4 and I can't do sidechain, that orange button doesn't exist in my compression! Can someone please help me, or do I need to have cubase 4.1 ?!??

Thanx

[DJVespers]

There's a workaround for that. Use db Audioware Sidedyn or Side Chaining compressors. They work in any VST host. I used them in Cubase SX3 a lot (didn't have native side chaining like 4 does). Cheers!

Very helpful, although the "bass" sounded like AC line hum to me....?

[DJVespers]

Yeah, there was lots of line noise in the sample. Haha. You get the idea though. I should've used a Virus synth patch for it or something but what's done is done.

[victordemise]

(One year too late...) but no, the bass track sounds to me like a 60 cycle hum!! Just goes to show you can get anything to sound musical if you give it a lil beat!
