Compression to the BPM... gold nugget. Been mixing and mastering for over a decade and still learning.

Thank you

[moksh]

In Logic X - if you go to region inspector on the left, and click on the Delay field - you'll get a drop down list with milliseconds and grid values like 1/64 etc. No need to go elsewhere for release timings :) Thanks

[JibberJabJones]

i also find it useful to put an EQ on the master bus, solo the kick and bass tracks, then bring a low pass cut all the way down to about 100–that way i can really hear what's going on in the low end without the distraction of any mid-to-high range stuff. helps one really dial in the low end.

[ezrabrownstein]

Someone already recommended volumeshaper, but something like that is definitely the cleanest way to do this. It doesn't have the same character as classic sidechain compression, though. For doing it with a kick, a good practice is to duplicate the kick track, output the dulicate to silence, and use that to trigger the compressor on the audible kick track. We call it a "ghost trigger, " and it opens up a lot of creative possibilities like ducking the track when no kick is actually playing or shifting the timing of the ducking slightly

03:20 it always feels good when you poke it in and out sir!

[norand]

Yesss! Got it! I've just used it for the first time ever! Started my producing/mixing/mastering journey a month ago and heard about this, but it was too early for me. Now I've got it right! It's working amazingly well! Thanks a lot! Best regards! 🙂

[Amfjsjahcheja]

known about this trick for ages but never been doing it right this is so clear thank you cant believe this is free

[minorchordstudio]

Trackspacer is my go to for side chaining, only ducks the conflicting frequencies.

[LTD]

Step 3 is key! Opens up a lot of opportunities for the kick.

[andreisolomon]

The trigger fact..every thing you say it's illuminating..thank you so much

[shubhrasinha]

Volumeshaper is actually the most flexible way to sidechain that I've found. 3 frequency bands can be tweaked individually with different curves and mix settings resulting in the most transparent sidechaining ever. Oh, and it can be midi triggered so it's the ultimate IMO.

[YanevMiroslav]

For years I use compressor for sidechain, but your approach change my life forever 🤘😂 Your content and your skills are blessing for us! T u 🙏

[ChrisIlett]

Great tip about doubling the track! Used that so much on other things yet never thought of it for one of the most important things of all!

I don't understand: Why I have to change the kick while original kick signal running on the mix? What is the point?

[carptackula]

I love the helpful way of dialing in the compressor settings to hear what it's doing, AND the idea of having a mathematical approach to Release Time. However, doesn't a side chain compressor release time 'start' at the point where the incoming signal falls above the threshold? (ie if you were to use just a 1ms transient sample for the kick - or a dummy sc channel with a 1ms sample - with the SAME release time settings you have, wouldn't you end up with a different compression sound, because the release would be triggered earlier with a 1ms sample vs whatever your kick length is in the example ?). In other words, the mathematical value used for your release time ends up being arbitrary as its actual time is the combination of the length of your kick tail falling outside of the compressors threshold settings + the release time value. (I hope this makes sense - please correct me if I am wrong !)

[SamuelLaflamme]

Oh man ! thanks! that Tom Hess reference is excellent! Cheers

[BrewerShettles]

Great tip at the end!!!!Thanks Trigger from the sidechain!

[rickhorvath]

Nice. How about a demo using a real or sampled acoustic kick with a real bass maybe plugged in direct. I always add a logic bass amp and it makes a nice difference

[scottmcdowall]

Great tip I watched a video saying to compromise the Kick or bass with EQ.
I have never been happy with the outcome this little tip really works well..

[LYFoulidis]

This one also works great with a dynamic EQ like TDR Nova or FF Pro q3!
