Sidechained Reverb and Delay in BM3
Hey ya’ll I have a question about sidechained reverb and delay in BM3. Goal is to save time with drawing automation or doing delay throws on snipped audio. I only want the last word or few words of a phrase to echo. I’ve read that by putting your reverb and delay (maybe I should separate?) on an aux track and adding a compressor side chained to the vocal I want to echo (vocal is sent to the aux 100%), the reverb and delay should only activate once the vocal stops. I’m using the compressor settings recommended online: high ratio, low threshold, fast attack medium to slow release, but I’m still getting every word in every phrase echoing and it causes a terrible mess sound wise. I’ve played with the compressor settings just in case, but I can’t get the vocals to echo in the gaps at the end of phrases no matter the settings. Am I missing something? I’ve watched plenty of tutorials on desktop daw’s where this works great even on rap vocals which is what I’m trying to effect. What am I doing wrong? Should the sidechained reverb and sidechained delay be on their own aux tracks or does that not matter?

Bueller?
Seems tricky. I was waiting to hear from the experts before giving any opinion. I don’t use BM3 so the only solution I could think of involves playing live in AUM and messing around with setting up an envelope generator (FAC Envolver) to make this work.
For a timeline based BM3 song, automating the send to delay seems much easier.
@Hmtx thanks, that seems to be the consensus on the discord too, but still a little maddening that I’ve watched a ton of videos where this work on other “DAW’s” and it seems like the principal would cross over to ios DAW’s. It not a special feature and more likely a know. Technique that should work with any DAW (desktop or otherwise) that has sends and aux tracks (returns) and a side chainable compressor, all of which BM3 has.
Sure you've got your compressor after the delay? And sidechained to the vox?
Both should be in the aux bus; vox send +6db (max); delay 100% wet.
Compressor's ratio -60db (min), ratio 20:1 (max), attack 0.1ms (min), release 20ms (min).
You may need to tweak vox aux send level, vox fader, and aux pre/post send for balance, etc.
I can post an example if need be.
@ocelot i would humbly accept your example. Everything is set up as you say above, only bit that I’m not clear on is the vox send +6db max. The send knob is at 100%
In the FX Bus, place a delay and two compressors, both sidechained to the vox track -
Compressor 1 settings -
Compressor 2 settings -
Experiment with the compressors release time, especially compressor 1.
Play around with the settings until you find something that works for the track.
Quick n dirty audio file attached below.
The vox is from Cory Friesenhan, from a Black Octopus library. It's used here for the sole purpose of illustration for instruction.
Thank you! Grateful for the tutelage.
