4 Powerful Ways To Use Sidechain Compression

Thank you!

I am doing exactly what you're doing with the bass/kick, and the Fabfilter MB is still only showing the bass dynamics. I can't get it to duck when the kick hits.

God damn it. I wasted a lot of time figuring out how to use and set this up, which I won't go into because it's ridiculously large and you explained it in under 1 Minute

Joey I'm your fan, Big engineer and great teacher!

is it bad that
i literally cant hear a difference

i can say this was the best tip ever ,, changed my mixing completely

Great vid and song was dope! Is that song out?

Thanx! So Very Well Explained!!!!!!

I side chain my wife's voice so when she speaks it doesn't interfere with my football game.

Brother, you’ve been a huge help. You know how to speak in a way I’m hooked to keep listening and you’re easy to understand by the way you explain. I subscribed right away.

Man I wish Reaper would let me sidechain it's multiband comp

Thank you will try that today on my mix

Thanks for the explanation, very effective and useful!

All of these tips literally just saved my mix. WOW. Thank you!

This band is called The Sons of Fear Factory?)

Is there any plugins that take less cpu power to do this? Kind of annoying having it on every single track.

is this reaper? what theme are he using?

The snare and guitar trick really saved my mix!

🧐 ничего себе! спасибо за очень полезное видео! 🤗

AWSOME TUTORIAL, THANX

That's some advanced stuff right there!

Wow!!!! This tutorial is straight golden and I'm a hip hop producer/engiineer. I know this will help level up everybodies skills for sure. I use Fl Studio mainly but I play around with Reaper as well. Reaper is my second DAW of choice that I use whenever I feel like I need a change of scenery.

This is one is my favorite sidechain tutorial hey

Need name of guitar/vocal somg

Great video. Total sidechain newb here, so I'm going to try some of this. I'm certain they'll help my mixes.

Super helpful , thank you

Extremely informative video ❤️ thanks mate ☺️ love from India

I don't use sidechain at all. But you actually gave awesome tips. I'll definitely try some of those! Thanks 🙏 🙏 🙏

As much as I watch this, I still watch this when side chaining every song I create, just to make sure I’m doing things correctly. I love this tutorial and how you explain what to listen for. If you have any other side chaining tutorials besides these 4 that are commonly used, I would love to see them. I own just about all of your plugins and sound packs. Everything is the best I’ve ever used. I love things that let me get good sound fast so I can focus on creating. Your tutorials help so much! Thank you! Ever since I started using your plug ins, watching these tutorials, and joining NTM when I can, my songwriting has gotten better bc the complicated stuff has become much simpler. 🔥

Ps

The sub drop/everything one was a game changer. Sub drops can get ugly real real fast! Haha

Side chain on a DeEsser or Multiband Compressor 1-3k on BGVs key source on the lead singer. Reduces messy sloppy Ts, Ps, Ss, etc.

Thank you so much 😊

This video saved my snare! Thanks Joey!

This channel is so good. The video production is amazing, the ideas are great and I just love to see how beautiful Reaper looks with this theme haha. I just have to find the courage (and the time) to really train mixing (I can play, set the gain levels right, record and all... But mixing is another beast for me haha).

Howw do i do that in FL Studio????

thx!

I've been using most of those featured sidechain tricks...good one on the snare/guitars. However! A sidechained gate would be much better than compression e.g. with vox? As when you use compression, soft vocal parts duck, let's say, the guitars only a little - but you want the opposite effect i.e. the softer the trigger, the more dramatic the reduction on the conflicting element. ReaGate has a built-in feature just for this use case. Summa summarum: a sidechained gate ducks the conflicting element more consistently than a compressor. Just what you need for clarity...

I duck the OH when the snare hit.

Great video! BTW what Reaper skin are you using? Thanks

I always love the extreme ducking of a mix, whenever I launch a drop, but I also double compress my master bus...

This was immensely helpful. Took me a bit to figure out how to do it in Reaper using Waves C4, but I got a much punchier snare now. Thanks!

Super informative!

Wow. This tutorial is game changing. Thanks JST!

These recent videos have been great. Direct and concise info, no bs.

This was the most useful side-chain video I've watched so far, and I've seen many. Also, super thankful it's showing real use-case scenarios, not some senseless continuous workout gym music pumping. Cheers!
