Every Way to Sidechain Your Bass in Ableton (Patreon)
Content
Sup y'all. Today we're going over 6 methods of sidechaining (specifically bass + kick or snare). By all means, I'm not a sidechain expert! These are just the methods I know and use, so hopefully you'll find it helpful! I also forgot to mention, actually you can zoom in the oscilloscope in Shaperbox. Check the link here with additional sidechain information https://youtube.com/shorts/tAgRnoRZh-A?si=2pj5brFbqpCfI_jLQ: do you sidechain percussion, rides, hi-hats, etc. in the drum kit to the kick and snare? How do you decide which components are sidechained to other components?A: I sidechain pretty much every element through the kick and snare (especially in the drop where the most layers and sounds are present). Sometimes I can use a slightly different sidechain shape though (for example, the bass can have a deeper sidechain curve than the synths).
