3 Levels of Sidechain Techniques: Beginner to Pro

[@CJMattias]

You want your sidechain to begin 5ms before the kick, because of ringing etc. Will reduce peaks by a lot 😉

Awesome tutorial thanks for sharing!!!

[@magica2z]

What a great video. Thank you Borys and thank you PML. You guys are the best.

6:10 why wouldnt you use MIDI Shaper and sidechain it to the note of the kick? Not all drum patterns are 4/4 or fall or even beat grid. Btw, subscribed 😊

[@Wendel_Kos]

thanks!!! i was looking for the shaper + utility!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 i wish there was a simple M4L that does this without mapping stuff, for the Push 3 (like that Kickstarter plugin)

[@ernanijose6057]

I loved your tutorial, very good! I loved!!!

[@leon3589]

I love the track! Is it released?

[@dbdbdb12345]

Excellent !!! thank you ! loved the third one 💯

[@NadalikMusic]

Thank you for your video, it is very useful ! Sorry to look stupid, I tried to find a link to Ableton Project file of the track which played in this video. Where is it located?

[@mttlsa686]

I always try to shape kick and bass with equalization and sound design first, making them fit into a "bottom end pocket" which will be entirely filled only when kick and bass are overlapping, but with the minimum possible amount of masking. I don't even need sidechaining most of the times.

[@alienmachine]

Interesting. Could the 3rd technique be done with a multiband compressor as well?

[@otdalenno]

I guess it could because you can automate by Envelope follower almost any knob and parameter in Ableton

[@snellejellee7626]

Yeah this is possible!

[@oguzaltintas_ofcc]

or maybe you can use MB Comp

[@arndlichau6888]

Nice!

[@paul6925]

Are shaper and envelope follower new to Ableton 12? How have I not noticed these

[@joshsutton-smith1245]

Get rid of the bed music…. Very distracting…. Rest of the content is great…. Just no need for filler music

[@JayKaye_Vortecx]

😂😂😂😂

[@ninjazorro]

Interesting video with boring music…

For god sake please stop teaching people to sidechain low end with a compressor. This massive GR will make your bass sound like ass on a big system... Although compressor has this sidechain option, it is not designed to do this stuff. All PML tutorials and templates use this technique and it's no good. Other techniques are alright but you're introducing phasing with EQ. It's best to use plugins that are designed for this purpose.
