A question though: "Sean stresses to never use your actual kick as your sidechain trigger. Rather he says to either use a closed hi-hat, or just the click from the very beginning of your kick. That is all you should ever be using"
Why is that? |
This is his method, and it works for him. And as PutBoy said, some kicks have a long tail and it doesn't sound good using that particular kick to sidechain the bass. Using a really short sample as the sidechain input and adjusting the compressor's release will give you more flexibility in getting it to sound exactly how you want it.
But there are times when it's absolutely fine to use the actual kick. As long as you've been producing a while and can trust your ears - if it sounds good, it is good.
When people use words like "never" and "always", remember that that's their experience. I don't know if Sean Tyas has changed his sound radically recently, but if he's still going with the single "Sean Tyas" sound, then yes, in his case it is truly "never", since that's probably how his starting template is set up.
