No need to be humble. Great sound adjustments. it takes a real musical mind to come up with such ideas for starters! thank for this and i'll practice on the LFO crushing sound. great one!
2:30 when you do the automation of the volume,remember also to do a reeeeally tiny automation at the end of the automation to 0 or just the % that you are working on,to avoid the cliping or the sound that sounds at the beggingin from each sidechained sound.
Short. To the point. Helpful. How tutorials and tips are supposed to be! Not necessary to have a 5-minute intro where you "explain" what you are going to do. Subbed!
Alf Berger its built into the software itself, if you attach a love filter its not really sidechaining its just throwing the volume up and down. Just attach a limiter to the bottom of your mixer channel, route the drums or synth or vocals or whatever the hell it is over to the mixer channel that needs the compression using the bottom toggle thats like a manual link cable to the second mixer channel you're squashing. When you go into the FL limiter you can turn on compression and link it to 1 through however many mixers are linked to that limiter. You then adjust the threshold and gain, that way when the side chain kicks in its sidechaining based on the sound thats input into the mixer channel itself, creating a unique wavetable thats specifically for that side chain. So instead of cheap ass LFO filter sidechaining you evolve into deeper more spacious sidechaining that allows you to lose less sound as you're chaining but still push things down volume wise leaving you overhead room where certain parts don't overflow others. Its more precise because the shape of the wavetable matches the drums/synth/whatever the fuck exactly, instead of single line or curved sine table LFO wavetables..... Get it?
Great, straight to the point! The last one was mind opening for me. Thanks. For side chaining I use peak controller on the kick and then link the bass mixer track fader to the kicks controller and mess with the parameters. You can see the fade go down when the kick hits.
DUDE! This is insanely creative! I’m gonna try a few of these out. These tips seriously help so much. And Virtual Riot used that seventh one in his track Init. :)

OMG OMG OMG!! You are my new FAV channel!!! Please a "for dummy" tut on making ambiant Anjuna strings !! I have been trying for years!!
@@xavandres No what you do with a limiter is limitting. "Sidechaining" simply means using a signal from one channel to drive a parameter change on a vst on another channel. Its not just ampllitude duckiing which is what you and everyone else wrongly calls simply "sidechaning" you can sidechain lots of things. Sidechain a gate on some reverb for example so that the gate opens up letting the reverb tail sound only after the note ends on an instrument you have reverb on. "Sidechain compression" which you are talking about is usually done with a compressor not a limiter.
@@BenHall289 A limiter is a type of compressor. Fruity Limiter has 2 panels. One with threshold, ratio, attack, and release (compressor). The other just has a ceiling parameter where it will not allow the signal to cross the threshold (limiter)
@@willia_music Yeah. The difference between a compressor and a limiter is only really the compression ratios used. A limiter is intended to limit the maximum level, normally to provide overload protection. ... A compressor is used for less drastic, more creative dynamic control, and tends to use lower ratios; typically 5:1 or less and as i stated, usually a compressor would be used for side chain compression.
Brandon Hernandez came up watching a lot of tutorials and applying the knowledge to ableton with some success. Eventually it got the point where i needed vst 3 support. Ableton didnt offer this so i switched to fl. I find now though that tweaking your samples and building in the piano roll is far more intuitive in fl . Plus free updates for life. Geez. TLDR. Vst 3 support, ghost images and lifetime support updates. 😂😂😂
I've been wondering about the fade in vocal thing literally for years and never came across a how-to of it somehow. So yeah, thank you for finally showing me the light.
It kinda does, Asher. Not to sound like a dick. But there are differences. They way you do, is fine. But give not much options. If you sidechain a bass on a kick, you can SIDEchain them on two separate channels with a limiter ( one for bass and one for kick. ) IN FL 12 mixer there is a chain button at the bottom of the mixer. ( hence the name, you chain two mixer channels. ) This option is on every DAW. This will give you total control over the sidechain. Not just ' only LFO or volume ' . But also velocity, transparancy, gating etc. It will also follow your changes you make afterwards on your kick, automatically. This automation saves a lot of time too, since you don't want to change envelopes all the time when you decide to change to a double kick, for example. And sidechaining isn't something you should do at the end of a track production. The difference is also noticable. Using a plain volume / lfo envelope like you do, will give a hard time finding a ' contra ' waveform for the kick. Even harder when you have different kicks going on in your track. Or different segments. Lot's of automation work. Not needed! A mixer sidechain will automaticly balance the sidechain to the waveform. Just trying to be a good teacher, that's all! You are correct, though, about multiple ways to do sidechaining. But only a few are the most benefitting! PS : Chaining two mixer tracks is also necessary if you want to do a vocoder in FL, for example! :) Almost the same step. If you want to know how to perform this kind of sidechain, check out /watch?v=buoP2IEKvd8
Sidechaining with a volume envelope only works as well as the input to that envelope. If the envelope is simply you mapping out an up and down SAW style LFO to it, its not really chaining as precise as it could be. And when you have a bunch of things going on at once its better to have things precisely chained so it fits well in your EQ. This doesn't really apply to house music though...you can literally just jam a bunch of shit together and make sure you sidechain everything but a few elements to 0 when they happen and people won't notice a thing cause theres so much pumping going on.
Thank goodness RU-vid has the slow down video feature to rewatch this in slower pace. Youre fast. But I'm not gonna complain. This video is super helpful. Thank you for your time 👏
Just found your channel yesterday, so good! I have been looking for a channel/resource like this for ages! Keep making vids, it's so good to learn from someone who knows what they're doing/creates quality music
I first started on Reason 4, moved on ableton, moved on Studio one, cubase, moved on Bitiwg (Mostly for the modulation system, LFO/STEP ladder on any custom parameter) and now i moved on FL, i tried it before but i didn't knew about the POWERR it had (Patcher, Peak controler) this video helping me get hang of fl studio thanks! Each day im falling in love with FL Studio,
Wow, this is pretty cool! Most of these effects I know how to do them the "complicated" way, but WOW I had no idea there were way simpler methods of achieving these effects. I'm speechless! You've earned a new subscriber, my dude.
