Sound engineers HATE this ONE SIMPLE TRICK to...actually, no they don't. It's pretty great and they use it all the time! In this tutorial we’re going to look at how using sidechain compression with your kick and bass tracks using Logic Pro's built-in compressor can clean up the low end of your mix and prevent frequency masking!* This method can also be applied to other DAWs and compressor plug-ins of choice as long as they support external side-chain inputs.

* Because this video focuses primarily on taming low-end frequencies, it may be easier to hear the full impact of this effect by listening to this video with either headphones or studio monitors!
Remember, the guidelines I covered in this tutorial (relating to attack, release, ratio, and threshold settings in the compressor) may not work identically for your own music, so use your EARS when mixing and adjust to WHAT SOUNDS BEST!
