How I do my Sidechain routing! (and other techiniques)
🕑 Added 2021-05-17 21:44:19 +0000 UTCHey everyone!!
Today I'm here explaining my routing and sidechaining techniques, and what my "Mix A and Mix B" channels are all about. This has been a question I've gotten from a few of you so I thought I'd clarify it up for you guys.
This video is helpful for beginners and more experienced producers.
Beginners; welcome to sidechaining! Heres a couple of techniques.
Experienced; here's how i do MY own method. The routing can be a little tricky, but this gives you a lot of control, and gives you a spot to process, and tame things before the master out.
The basic principle is somewhat simple, and once you wrap your head around how it works, you'll be able to apply it to your own projects however you like.
The way that i learnt this initially has evolved into my own placements and processes as it will with yours. So find what works for you and for your workflow and don't feel restricted to doing things how someone else does them, or that you're "doing something wrong" if you do it slightly (or completely!) differently.
I hope this helps guys, and as always, let me know what you are feeling in the comments, what you wanna see etc. And share this around with your friends and get them involved!
Happy sidechaining (:

Attack is a bit of an interesting one, but having it short is the go. 1ms is good, but have a listen to see if there is any crazy evident clicking. just try and steer away from that. but i wouldnt go any higher than like 5ms cos then you wont be ducking the transients enough. :)

For the compressor method, how much does attack time matter? I know it should be relatively short, but how important is the specific value (e.g. 0.1ms vs 0.5 ms vs 1 ms)? Anyway super helpful video, definitely thinking about trying out ShaperBox now!
Thank you so much JP! If you remember, I asked you about this after your set at the 2019 EDC Orlando after party. You explained it just like this but it was super hard for me to understand because I couldn't see you do it like I just did on here. THIS HELPED SO MUCH! THANK YOU AGAIN!
