Almost Real Sidechaining Using the CALF Sidechain Compressor
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 11:11 am
I know that there are many tutorials for sidechaining already available, but I think that this is the better way to it. It actually sounds better as well.
Sidechaining using the CALF Sidechain Compressor:
Preparation:
1. Create input.
2. Add Peak Controller to input (kick).
3. Create instrument.
4. Add Sidechain Compressor to instrument (lead).
Settings:
5. Connect Peak Controller controller to S/C Level.
6. In the Peak Controller settings, set Base to 0 and AMNT to 1.
7. In the Sidechain Compressor settings, set Ratio to full.
8. Tweak volumes, Threshold, and Ratio until satisfied.
N.B.: The FX do not have to be added to the kick and instrument only. They can also be assigned to different FX channels.
