Compressor trick, how to do it?
Hey all,
I was wondering if there was any way to have a compressor have effect on everything but the kick, but still have the compressor react to the kick.
kind regards,
Charlie Darwin
you mean sidechaining everything with the kick?
That's probably what I mean but i'v never heard the therm so I can't say. The effect i'm trying to get is what you hear quite often hear when a phat supersaw pad seems to be crushed by the kick. I know it's possible with a gate 4/4 with short attack and long decay. But i'v tried it and it isn't what I want.
I'v put a kick and pad+lead through a strong 0 attack comp together before with great results, but the kick starts to klick.
any suggestions?
Samples?
Oh dear fucking lord, USE THE SEARCH!
GOD I HATE SIDECHAINING THREADS!
Terribly sorry m8. Didn't realise. But now I know the therm ill look it up.

Heh. For exactly this reason, there's a sticky sidechaining tutorial in trance.nu:s production forum.

Well we can put in mathematics what sidechaining is
Sidechaining -> Benny Benassi
Benny Benassi -> Gay
Therefore
Sidechaining -> Gay
too bad the ones whom aren't as succesfull as the gay producer mentioned above are complaining the most.
Besides the fact that the topic starter didn't even ask for an opinion.
As others need to use the search, maybe more adolescent persons could refrain from replying to topic # 1001 about the same subject. You guys aren't obligated to reply to topics you find annoying you know. flame all you want, no reply in this topic will come from my side.

I tried sidechaining in FL, fairly simple to set up. I wasn't very impressed though. I probably didn't use the proper settings, seems like yet another skill one has to aquire. I kind of lost interest. It's not something I need right now anyways.

But when I say tasteful I dont mean eric prydz call on me or just about any of the hardtrance songs thats just obcene and lame. Tasteful uses of it I think are songs like "blue water" by "black Rock" Arcadia by G&D....
Why is it that all you people ever do is start stupid arguments, waste people's time, and spend endless hours doing this same shit. Okay so he didn't use the search option...tell him to use it next time. Second, oh well he wants to learn about sidechaining...let him learn it and make his own sound. Just because you don't like the sound doesn't mean you can't tell him in a more polite way or give him some constructive criticism on the subject. Could everyone just take a more conservative approach to this and be more of a help than just a pain in the ass all the time.

It can make a song groove and flow that much more. You should relax more Diginut I bet you got big veins popping outta your head But when I say tasteful I dont mean eric prydz call on me or just about any of the hardtrance songs thats just obcene and lame. Tasteful uses of it I think are songs like "blue water" by "black Rock" Arcadia by G&D.... |

If you use it in a fair deal it can give some acceptable results and some extra pressure to the groove. If overcompressed like benny you end up with gaysongs indeed.
Diginut has posted in like 105021515 threads and does it every day and he sees all. He flames on people that ask common questions, but not all of us use the forum every day. Diginut deserves our respect for participating so much, but we deserve his respect (and patience) too. He might respond to this post and flame me, but I won't care.
I'm new here, and I see that diginut is very active here. I like what he has to say about a lot of things, he has a lot of knowledge to dole out. So he flames people who post before checking the FAQs first or searching. Sure, he needs to chill out, for his own sake more than anything, but I don't care now. Yep, like said here already, since he makes a big contribution here, I'll willing to overlook I'm just going to laugh now when digi says "for fuck sake, another thread about _______ (fill in the blank)".
