What if you have a bigger project, having too many compressor plugin just for side chaining is not gonna eat up too much of cpu?

Great stuff man thank you!

Brilliant video. Very informative information.

Brilliant tutorial mate. Thank you

Thanks for showing out how to setup a multi-output

Why are there other video that say to send the comp on the bass to a buss and use the sidechain button on the comp

FANTASTIC tight, simple tutorial. Put this on my latest track and it totally brought the bass to life! Thank you :-)

This was so helpful in 2024!

What happens if you set the sidechain trigger as a pre-fade input instead of sending to the aux/mix bus? Can you pick pre-fader for the input (channel) trigger, or is it a post-fader trigger at that point?

Legend. Love how straight to the point this is. +1 sub

So the method you are proposing is to strip all tracks of any panning, effects sends or automation and set all volumes to -12. Hmm

I want it the other way round, it's for bad bass players: when the kick hits, then the bass must sound. When the kick does not hit, then the bass must be silent. How do you do that?

Thanks a lot! Very helpful! 👍🏻🙏🏻

really clear and straightforward explanation - thanks

so many clicks it takes, but logic UI looks cool

thanks :)

this is the right way to do it.

But what is the harm in doing post fader? If the kick is not present in the mix then there’s no need to duck the bass

🐐🐐

Well done Jake great video keep it up man !

im all late to the party but thanks for this clear video on how to use side chain! I was always so confused about it but I tried it and it sounds great! now Is sidechaining something to do to other tracks? or is it primarily for kick n bass?

Stems for mixing? There is no such thing. Multitrack for mixing, yes, stems for mastering, good too, stems for mixing is a joke! 😂😂😂

Thank you! This video was so helpful.

Why is it important to meter pre-fader? I would assume the output is more important post-fader, as this is what will be exported? Especially when using amp sims for guitar and bass, messing with the gain of the audio file can really alter the sound

Hands down best explanation on this technique that I’ve found.

Thank you 🙏🏾

Dig ur style! Tnx for ur wiew, for a time I was "rear" comping the hole drum bus. Tried this way and got clarities for sure. : ))

😀👍

So basically a concentrated sound compared to a loose all over the place sound??🤷🏾‍♂️

Thank you! 😊

Awesome, I have watched many videos on this subject and yours was by far the best. I wish I found this clip sooner. Thanks. You have a new subscriber.

8:38 that look you do to the camera speaks for itself! The happiness of an audio engineer expressed in a look! Hahaha

Very Helpful video! good job man!:)

Gold info. great tutorial bro thank you. All the way from Trinidad.

Brilliant video- just saved me a lot of dinero. Now I can use my Samples from Mars 606 & 707 instead of buying Roland’s Tr versions - thank you soooo much

Excellent teacher. Most skip things, you covered everything. The only one thing i would probably add, is to clearify what happens to audio files that are in mono , but if one has pluggins that turn it to stereo it will be bounced as stereo if you keep the plugin on. Still, i think it is the best video on this subject, thank you and i am subscribing asap.

thank you! Super helpful!

Oh ma , great vid. You know what you're doing and it's great. and were those drums and keys/band live? it has a nice live feel, but good mic placement.

Jake, I just found your channel. And I've been trying to wrap my head around side chain for a long time, and you made is so easy to understand, and giving some compression start points Is so great. I feel this topic is not really expressed enough , because your demo was night and day on the kick/bass . great job and thanks.

I just clicked subscribe when you were on 999. I feel epic. Thanks for the tutorial bro!

very helpful! thanx

Thank you for this video. My name is Jake Stone and I subscribed to your channel. I appreciate your videos a lot.

Is there a difference with running the side chain directly to the kick track versus a kick bus?

this is the best tutorial on this on RU-vid, thank you so much!

...so just do the opposite to allow a more present bass guitar when the toms are playing the 'indian groove?'

So are we talking about TRACKS because a STEM IS a track that is mixed to a simple stereo file, where a TRACK is just as it sounds, a drum, a bass, a guitar. and those can be shared un-mixed so someone else can mix it for you. The STEM is the TRACK saved as a stereo file Drum, BASS, Vocals, they can be modified but there mostly locked and are used more for just playback or play along with. I dig the Vocals man!!!

Super helpful video, thanks so much dude!!

my output on the kick is gray and not blue. I can't change the pre\post fader settings. anyone know what options i need to change?

great video, really helpful!!!

WOW, just followed this tutorial and copied most of the compressor settings for a Techno tune I've been making. Instantly my kick is coming through so much more and not driving my master levels right up! Just one question, why do you send the kick to a bus first, then select the bus from the sidechain option in the compressor? I usually just select the main kick channel to directly trigger the compressor. Thanks :)
