Sidechaining in Reason 4 vs Ableton Live
View this Thread in Original format

I've always practiced producing in Reason, and was quite happy with it's ease and all. Now I'm learning Ableton and I've noticed one huge thing; sidechaining in Ableton is way better.

When I connect the compressor of an instrument to be controlled by the kick drum in Reason, I find that it does do its job until I solo the instrument, and then it's back to normal. With Ableton even if I solo the sidechained instrument it still ducks and it sounds really good. I don't know if I was doing it wrong all along in Reason but it seems to me that with Ableton sidechaining is really more advanced and useful.
