We've had this question come up so much especially for FL STUDIO users and decided to post a how-to guide on our blog.

The previous Production Class Part 1 dealt with Compression.

Google "side chain compression in FL Studio" and tell me what you find.

Or you can take 2 channels in the mixer.
Then Insert a kickdrum/Perc etc on one.
Load the fruity peak controller onto the kick drum channel ,click the mute button.Name this channel SCtrig
Load the sound to be sidechained into the second channel and right click the mixer volume bar and click 'link to controller'.
Goto the drop down menu and click SCtrig + Peak.

Turn the knobs to your delight.

Both are great ways to do side chaining! We wanted to show a different way. User preference :)

Cheers!

FL has a new way to sidechain with a limiter, pretty confusing tho

ABLETON SIDECHAIN FTW LOLLLL

I like the limiter-sidechain in FL. More controllable I think than with the Peak Controller.

I usually leave a couple of kicks off from the end of any 16 bars at intros and such. With the peak controller I had to adjust the kick volume to zero on the automation clip in the end of every 16 bars, in order for sidechaining to still occur. But with the limiter I can have my "sidechain-kick" playing all the time, muted and doing the sidechain all the way, even without the main kick playing at all.

Though I might also be doing this the wrong way from the beginning.

Ps. I apologize, if I'm being irrelevant, but the blog's background image really hurt my eyes, so couldn't read it. If it's supposed to be an optical illusion, it's ok.

I use the Envelope Controller, gives me the most flexibility, even over compression i find
