EQ sidechaining???

ok i use cubase sx and have t racks and waves gold bundle..i know how to sidechain using compressors to make the kick or whatever stand out but how is it possible to sidechain so that once the bassline comes in for instance the low frequencies on the lead will be turned down???anyone know how??it would be a great help

If your using Waves Side Chainer Compressor ( Waves SC1 Comp ), there's a Eq Section at the bottom of the plugin that allows you to easily set the freq to be ducked.

I have lost track at how many threads there are about side-chaining in cubase/nuendo.

Just do a search man. There's DEFINATELY something. I am so sick of this question (don't take it personally) that I am about this close...

...to writing the DEFINATIVE tutorial on side-chaining in Cubase including multiple ways of doing it too, and even screen shots.

Anyway. USE SEARCH.

Why make it so complicated? Just copy your lead pattern to a new channel and EQ that one. Then only play that one with the bass... Why do we have to make things so complex. And don't say that somehow the side-chain would do a better job. Your ears are the master of good music. Use them.

Automated ducking is ultimately your best friend and will allow for super, super thick and driving semi-cluttered tracks to sound dynamic and full.

Elevayta makes a VST plugin called "Space Boy". Sounds like exactly what you are looking for. You can find more info at http://www.paulrharvey.co.uk/elevayta/product4.htm .

I did post something similar a way back, about a method for multiband sidechaining, but it was for FL.
