How to: Use sidechain compression | Native Instruments

[@bulevardi_official]

Finally someone who explains it in a way I understand it :) Thanks!

[@MortenSminge]

THANKS for making this video. Actually i made music for 20 years and never really understood the parallel compression trick. Now i do, just by watching 8 minutes of video. I am going to use this forever!! :)

[@earcake1886]

What kind of music have you made ? Where can we hear your stuff ?

[@allan4korg]

Awesome explanation! And it’s great to hear Richard Osman do audio tutorials...

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Brilliant video and explanation!

[@BenPotts]

you know its gonna be a good production video when there's a fucking calculator in the thumbnail

[@lotdproduction]

Very good explanation! I knew the gist of sidechaining but this video really took it to the max. Thanks for the calculation hack too! ha

[@LordAssassinLych]

Nice track by the way

[@davidjefferys3233]

Excellent information...very well explained ..Bravo

[@gonz4664]

great tutorial!!!

[@jlebreton]

Thank you for that calculation!

[@maudonnet]

Great video!

[@SohaldSpike]

so this is how many producers do it huh?... Glad I finally found it. Now I can finally experiment with dubstep!!

[@mammoo93]

When using a standalone Komplete instrument such as Empire Breaks, is there a way to sidechain the kick to compress a pad in another group?

[@stumsi]

Great, and now sidechain in Cubase 9?

[@LordAssassinLych]

Is it possible to listen to that track?

[@georgealveskog]

Awesome, thanks!

[@robertmichael6832]

Es währe wunderbar, wenn ihr auch mal ein Tutorial auf deutsch machen könntet!! Bitte! Ich bin der englischen Sprache nicht wirklich mächtig. Ein Tutorial zu den ganzen Kompressoren von Komplete 12. Zusammen mit dem dazugehörigem EQ. Danke!!!

[@aldonebeat]

thanks

[@robertmichael6832]

Super!!!!

[@danmar9169]

Hi there, can you Tell me how i can choose/activate the sidechainsource for the Solid Bus comp in Cubase 11? Thanks a lot Dan

[@danabarnes4751]

My NI solid compressor doesn't have the assignment menus at the top. How to route side chain signal??

[@citipunk7840]

hi there ! the real effect window starts with the line where "INIT - Solid Dynamics" is written. anything above this line (like copy / paste / undo / Side Chain: / Manual /...) belongs to your mixing DAW, e.g. Studio One, Cubase, Pro Tools. MASCHINE 2.x is a nice tool to compose a piece of music, but it's NOT a real DAW 🙂

[@Ravehaus]

Hi there. Great, but how it works in Cubase Pro 9.5?

[@wonk2265]

I read in some forums that SC doesn't work for NI vst effects in Cubase because they're not VST3.

[@wonk2265]

As it is to be only vst2

[@MusicOfDreamweaver]

Your sidechaining doesn`t work in Cubase. Any fix to that?

[@geertmaertens7372]

20 ms is not 0.2 s but 0.02 s !!

[@tothefinlandstation]

Release time is not an absolute specific time it takes for the compressor to "release" but a rate of change (yes, the fact it's cited in milliseconds is deeply misleading). If the compressor is doing, say 12 dBs of gain reduction and the input suddenly falls below the threshold it is going to take more time for the compressor to release (return to doing 0 dBs of gain reduction) than if it had only been doing 6 dBs of gain reduction. So the whole exercise is pointless.

[@tothefinlandstation]

Two cars both going 60 mph are going take different amounts of time to go different distances. In a similar manner, two compressors with the same release settings are going take different amounts of time to "release" different amounts of gain reduction!

[@danielsanchez-sv7yx]

How do you route your side chain to a track in ableton live 10? My solid dynamics does not show an option to choose where to side chain from as it does in logic.

[@MFlieger2]

In the Ableton Live window set your "Audio Output" Routing in the Mixer Channel from your Kick or DrumRack to that track where your compressor device is. I use an extra Kick-track for sidechain and set the output to "Sends Only". At this way you have more control.

[@adambillingham9571]

Hay dude, I have tried this but the problem is I also have the sound of the kick coming out of the compressed channel as well as the instrument i'm compressing (synth pad or whatever) and obviously if you mute the kick channel it doesn't work???

[@sabinacovarrubiasa]

How can I select the side chain audio track in Ableton? Not info about it in user manual ...

[@sebastiancranemusic]

help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209775325-Sidechaining-a-3rd-party-plug-in

[@Ravehaus]

I testet it. It seems sidechaining works only in Logic as an AU Plug-In. Very sad.

[@MortenSminge]

I really doubt that any daw isn´t capable of routing in and outputs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnKmkml5faeDoLs maybe this can help - or else try searching youtube for this. I trust it will be there :)

[@avocadomasher1390]

Don’t use compressor. Use LFO tool made by Xfer. You will get better results much faster.

[@MortenSminge]

I dont agree totally.. yes as an effect, as a mix tool no.

[@MrBlablaWhatever]

at minute 5:30: 0.62s ≠ 62.5ms just saying

[@brythebass]

That setting is obviously not available thought that was obvious 🙄

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

Why does this video show up under search results for "Supercharger"?? How do you define the source for the NI Supercharger?!? The manual sure does not explain this, so why is this tutorial tagged for something it does not explain? NOT helpful!
