I'm making something that's kind of like Big Room House. It includes this huge-sounding bass pluck that has a really nice buzz at the top end, but that sound is demolished whenever the sidechain hits, which is at the same time as most of the pluck notes. My solution is to sidechain the low end only, so it keeps the sound away from my kick while still allowing those higher frequencies to be awesome.
The issue is, I'm not sure how to do this with LMMS neatly. Here are the things I've tried:
- I tried sidechaining EQ, but that doesn't remove all lower frequencies, only most of them.
- I tried separating each pluck track (I have three layered together) into two, lowpassing one and highpassing the other, and only sidechaining the lower one. Filters don't cut out all frequencies right at their cutoff frequency though, so there ends up being mud right where I separate them.
- I tried sidechaining the Wet/Dry on a highpass filter, because I was stupid. It didn't work for obvious reasons.
Is there a nice and neat solution for this?
