Anyone else immediately get a sense of relief and wash of calm when they hear "hey guys, it's me, Gregor!" -- this man has helped me so much 🥰

[SmudgeTAC]

Gregor, The example you used was a perfect demonstration. It was super easy to understand and hear the sidechain effect.

[Gsuschord]

Finally! I now know the difference between "Send" and "Output" on S1' Sidechain feature. This has been driving me crazy. Rock on!

[kaeleb]

The timing on this was perfect! I've been trying to get my head around sidechain compression and this really helped!

[awke]

This it the best explanation of compression that I have ever heard!! I needed this!!

[Take-the-Ticket]

I came here to relearn from Gregory, and I was doing it correctly to begin with. What I found was that my kick was tuned too low and THAT was why my bass was getting sucked out. So I tuned the kick an octave higher and problem fixed. Although I still did this exactly as Gregory explained. Now my bassline and kick are symaptico. Bass basses and kick hits, with a tasty pump on the bass.

Yo, The software is great bro. I'm learning right now and studio one and these videos have taken me leaps beyond where I was at. Just thought I'd show some love. Keep helping us. We/I appreciate it.

I don't see the arrow icon on the right of the Sidechain button. I'm sure i'm missing something...but what? Thank you in advance!

[ClappyCakes]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I've watched so many videos explaining compression and they over explain everything. This was a simple way of understanding what it does and how to implement it in any creation. Been needing this for a while, thanks Gregor!

[bradenharwood]

This is going to make my guitars and kick drum play nice with each other. Thank you!

[GILLISH]

@PreSonus Audio Electronics do you have a video of sidechaining bass with k

[hudson_L]

BigZ Always bringing valuable tips!!! THX!!! I had a problem activating the sidechain in sooth2 as in the video, and what was missing was activating the sidechain button within the sooth itself, which by default is disabled

Using along with Focusrite Reveal plugin, it will be more precise and clean

[CheapGearGuy]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!!
They help SO much!!!!

[perezgiovanni]

[evilelf]

just got into this, got one6 pro..without gregor i would have junked it for something simpler, it's very daunting for a noob but gregor breaks things down that calm my nerves.

Side chain in studio one is good but it has one huge bug which makes it useless when the projects goes huge for CPU processing. Say for an example, you have two tracks Kick and Bass. Insert a compressor in bass track and select Kick as Sidechain input. Now right click on bass track and select "Transform to Audio". It renders the bass track with plugins then again right click on bass track and select "Transform to realtime Audio", studio one should recall the compressor with Kick as sidechain input but instead it reset the SC input. This bug makes sidechain useless because you cant freeze it when projects becomes huge for CPU to handle. Raised this issue in version 4 but still this bug exist ..

I was ticking the "output" box under the sources for sidechain and getting no sound from my source. So you have to check the "send" box. Got it. Thanks.

my instrumental is 8 tracks in a folder, it doesn't seem like I can Sidechain my vocal with a Folder, what should I do? I want the entire instrumental to duck a little bit, what;s the best method? bounce everything? what if I want to make changes to the mix

[georgemoore]
