nice one, but at the end of the day isn't it easier to make a better mix to begin with not to have to do this much sidechaining just by mastering and smart layering?

Well, yes and no. Trash in, trash out is what does most for mixing like you said. Smart choises in sound selection dictate like 80% of your actual sound so yeah, its definitly hugely important to layer smart. Mastering however is widely misunderstood, mastering makes your mix actually less clean. Its mostly making it loud and balanced. But a mix doesnt get more clean with one. (It might with stems mastering but that is less common) Sidechaining punches and other mixing tricks are there to push the other 20% of your mixdown to its maximal potential. Create room for sounds that by their nature will clash with eachother. With more room for the elements you can also master it louder without the song sounding weirdly compressed. Then the reverb/delay sidechaining actually doesnt help with getting a clean mix, that almost is its own instrument. Without it a lot of modern hardstyle melodies do not work. The sidechaining allows you to use wayy bigger reverb/delay without drowning the actual leads themselves. But it also creates more of a mess for your kicks to push through. I think you asked a very good question, thats why the wall of words lol. Hope this cleared some of it up but if you disagree or if you have a follow up question feel free to reply with it here or in the Discord

Nice tutorial! Do you always have reverb and delay on your chords as well?

This goes on my full lead stack. My lead stack includes anything that follows the same rhythm as the melody. So chords and harmonies are included :)

Hi sawer, i can't hear the punch after i sidechain it. What could be the problem?

@sawer 3 ай бұрын

You probably used 'sidechain to this track only'. Thats great if you dont want to hear the trigger. Like my short transient. But you wanna hear your punch. Just make sure to send that to the master or kickbus by clicking the appropriate routing arrow:)
