Sidechaining in Gadget: How and Why

  • Props for taking the time to put this together

  • @brice. Fantastic post, you should be writing manuals for apps. I didn't think of using the sidechain to create rhythmic patterns, great idea!

  • Side chaining noise or record scratches or other 'textures' to create a rhythm is something I want to try.

    Thank you for your vote of confidence. Glad you enjoyed the post. Though I can't take any credit for using sidechaining as a rhythmic effect. That's been going on long before my time. I'm just a messenger.

    Definitely! Was playing around with some of those factory vinyl sample in Bilbao earlier; some interesting results. Also, try applying 2 sidechain effects on one channel. Same source and with different sources. More interesting results, though very extreme ducking going on.

    While that may be true, you still reminded me so I thank you. Side chaining while mixing to duck a sound is something I understand, but that's usually a problem solver or a pumping effect for my bad electronic music. But I started a new tune tonight using a rhythmic idea, maybe it'll be less bad electronic music. We shall see...

    A couple DUIs forced me into an undesired education/rehabilitation process, not sure if there's a government-mandated equivalent for understanding audio processing. Would be kinda cool though if the county sheriff knocked down my door cuz the bass drum was coming in way too loud, drag me off to producer school...

    This is a good idea. I spent three weeks in ICU and three months in rehab and learned nothing about mixing anything more than butane.

    This awesome explanation from @brice deserves another bump (for those who missed it) :)

  • I think this thread should potentially be a sticky on the forum. The information provided here doesn't just apply to Gadget. Anyone who is mystified by compression would be served well by giving this a quick read. Incredibly well written. Kudos.

    It really is coming down to this isn't it? There's been so many good albums (in terms of ideas) over the last 15 years that I can't listen to because they are compressed all to shit and sound terrible. Something has to be done.

  • Thanks for the tutorial, i really needed that.
