I know this is an old video, but there's a way easier way. Use the fruity peak controller on the kick and a parametric EQ 2 on the signal you want attenuated. right click the band you want to duck and link it to the internal controller and select your peak controller and dial in the amount of ducking you want. Personally, I prefer doing this with fabfilter pro-q3 so I have mid-side options, but it works just as well with the stock stuff.

I used to use the parametric eq 2 to side chain, but the frequency splitter will probably be my go to. Most often now I just check the polarity of the kick and go on.

you can also solo frequencies in parametric eq 2 now so its easy to narrow where you want to sidechain

I dont usually sidechain my 808 i just play with the attack and delay but recently i been using fruity peak controller to sidechain. Instead of sidechaining to the volume i put peak controller on the kick, and an eq on the 808 and use peak controller to control a low end band on the eq to dip every time the kick hits.

Navie is the new tuner introduced in 20.8 better than Wave Candy to detect in what key a sample is?

[@yungs6ul495]

depends. wave candy can help u detect multiple frequencies n the tuner is for simpler situations

[@NavieD]

Yeah, what @yungs6ul said. Tuner can't show you the notes in a chord for example, it can only display one note at a time from what I have seen

Suppose that one is working from a older model of FL Studio. Such as FL Studio 11 does the same rule apply when using the multiband compressor? If not then what other application do you recommend?

Thank you so much for the video. For sidechaining I would simply use Peak Controller + Parametric EQ to convert it into a dynamic EQ. Less trouble + Less insert channels :) But if I am going to add more fx to the split bands ( like reverb on the high, distortion on the lows etc etc ) and yes, Frequency Splitter is the one to use definitely

[@aeixo2533]

I've been doing this a long time, just using separate parametric EQ with a high/low pass as a frequency splitter.

[@wrighteously]

I've thought about doing it but it seemed like a hassle and I'm lazy. Although it was for a different purpose than sidechaining.

[@andreascarrenobravo628]

why the best why ? multiband compresor or dynamic eq ? or love filter folowing an eq area and the envelop triger an eq band :) in this case the whay in fl ,ableton and reaper exist

soo... maximus + peak controller?

[@NavieD]

Hmm, I believe in that case, you would just not use the BEAT_BASS.Wav file since the Low, Mid and High combined would give you your entire bass sound.

[@jzilla_grudgegang]

I feel like this is more of a mastering tool compared to just mixing the beat. I would just render it out then record it into Edison and then you can save your new 808 and it’s already processed but I would leave room to work with since every beat is different mix wise hence why you want the bands tight

[@Crossfire2003]

Great video. Greatly explained. But this method is a bit too complicated. Using a dynamic EQ that compresses a certain range of frequencies is a lot easier. By that, you won't need 4 mixer channels only for your bass. Image-Line should create a dynamic EQ too!

[@Gedagnors]

Extremely useful video! Thank you so much!!! By the way, this may seem strange, but I still use automation lines for sidechaining. The result is smooth. When I use Fruity Limiter - it is always unredictable and shaky.

Interesting, what becomes unpredictable and shaky exactly?

if i side chaining the kick to the bass mid why mute down the bass mid ?

yo Navie D! If we compress our bass from the kick using the fruity limiter sidechain method, should we also remove the route to the master, or is this not needed when using the fruity limiter method? Great video as usual by the way!

We were able to do this before with a multiband compressor and a peak controller.

[@MauriceBerisha]

doesnt this work in "patcher" too?

[@henryijeoma]

The way I've always sidechained my kick and bass is to leave the kick as is, then go into the envelope settings of the 808s and nudge the attack a few milliseconds off. This delays the 808s a bit, thereby creating a pocket for the kick to sit in without being overpowered by the 808. I've been doing it this way since I started making beats, and it has been working for me. What do you think about this method?

[@NavieD]

It definitely works for that first, initial kick you may layer at the beginning of your 808. But if you have another kick that is playing part-way through the 808, then you're sorta pickled.

[@henryijeoma]

@@NavieD you're right but I haven't had that issue ever. Plus I make sure to pick 808s that don't have strong kicks in them. Thanks!
