then you have to send your pads bass whatever you want sidechained to sidechain,where fruity comp is just click on arrow above fx on mixer also deactivate the mixer channel fo the pad kick you are sending to comp. now go to fruity comp and right click on threshold and click link to controller and choose internal controller half way down and choose just PEAK.then go down to mapping formula choose inverted click accept.then move base on peak controller up a bit about a third. There is a really easy way using peak cotroller this is a different way than most people use peak controllerįirst put a kick drum in playlist and put peak controller on mixer channel 2,can be any mixer track then route your kick drum to mixer channel 2 leaving the mute on peak controller then in mixer channel 3 well call it sidechain add fruity compressor threshold is controlled by peak controller. When the envelope controller's midi is activated, the sidechain shape you drew will be applied on the gain knob. You’re going to need at least FL Studio 9.1 to be able to open it. I use Fruity Limiter's gain knob, just make sure your sidechain envelope is peaks at halfway so you don't get 30db of gain when you sidechain. Download and open it to start experimenting. I’ve also attached an FL Studio project file (.flp) where the sidechain compression is all set. In the video tutorial, I will show you how you can easily create sidechain compression in FL Studio. In dance music, it’s common to sidechain the kick drum to a bass line, pads and/or a lead section to create that pumping effect. That is how you create that – often called – “ducking” sound. Sidechain compression is a technique where the level of one audio signal controls the amount of compression applied to a second audio signal. That’s sidechain compression in action, and it plays a huge role in modern dance music. You can hear how the pads, the leads, and the bass line get sucked down every beat of a kick drum. If you’ve been listening to electronic dance music for a while, I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed that “pumping” sound that a majority of the songs have – especially in house and trance music.
