sidechaining in Reason ... possible?
View this Thread in Original format

Searched the forum, but didn't find any info on this issue...
So, the question is, is there any way to connect the devices in Reason to obtain a sidechaining, with for example, the kick and bass?
Massive84
as far as i know, no.
BIKKEL
Maybe with the audio merger and splitter!

No, in order to sidechain, you need a compressor that allows for the input of another signal. This is not possible in reason, fruity or cubase unfortunately. You can compress the kick and bass together to get a similar result but you won't be able to duck in reason.

this is not quite right. at least for fruity and cubase check the dbAudioware Compressor. you need two instances, a sender and a reciever.
HERE's a short tutorial...

ok, back to topic:
there's a way to 'emulate' sidechaining in Fruityloops. perhaps this works in Reason, too.
with a PeakController on the kickdrum you can control the gain of your bassline. on every kick the volume gets lowered and raised right after which makes your bassline 'duck'. but i don't know if Reason offers a similar device.

thx for answering :)

the scream device has some modulation inputs on its back though, perhaps those can be used if you yse the scream as a compressor?

Can someone give me a quick run down on what sidechaining is ?
Massive84
even if it's possible in reason through wiring..

i wonder if the Reason compressor is strong enough for sidechaining.

Huh... pretty goot tutorial ^^^. I actually thought of all those NYE parties, hosted by Dick Clark - there's a cheer of the crowd full blast and then when he starts to talk, it dies down. The moment he stops, it picks up right away. So, I guess this is what 'ducking' is.

Pretty cool
