A trick to get your Lead up front and be spacious
🕑 Added 2021-07-12 13:35:11 +0000 UTCMake a send, pop on what ever you need it to be. In this case a reverb and delay group and after put a compressor that side chains to the lead. Space will appear more after the lead is played. As for compression etc, I suggest first getting all staccato (rhythm) elements playing nice and tight together. See it as a drum circle. After add in your pads/space/reverb and lastly the lead. It will immediately come apparent what you can still do or what you can delete to keep the lead up front.

Ah yeah that would sound very pumpy. About -4-5 db will do with a slow release
Great tips! I usually did most of fx thing similar, but set the release time in sidechain way too short and threshold level too deep which caused unnatural sound or drastic changes. Now my life will be lot easier, thanks!
