| Anyone using this technique? When do you use it and which plug-in are you using?
I've been using the Db Audioware side chain pack.

| Depends what I'm doing. Most of the time I'll use the TC Bundle sidechain/compressor deesser. If for some reason its not giving me what I want, I use the method youve posted above with a source channel and a Voxengo Crunchessor.. between the two methods I get the job done. |

| Do you need a powercore to run the bundle?
Anyone have a link - I'd like to read up about it? |

| the tc bundle is their old school vst plugin thing they made years ago. You don't need the powercore. The waves c1 can also do it. As far as when to use it? i suppose the main use is to make the bass duck around the kick but you can use it for lots of other stuff. Using a kick trigger to add some rythmic motion to a pad or carving some space in a percussion group bus. |

what does it do exactly?
thanks :) |

| you set it to compress other elements when another thing hits.. like, Pendulum tunes have it set so that the rest of the mix ducks out whenever the snare hits.. you could set it so that the bass drops down when the kick hits... |

| well, in the example of using it so that your bassline ducks down when your kick hits, it would make more sense to do it, as you don't really want 2 strong bass instruments playing at the same time.. Set it to a quick release, and you make your kick punch through, and your bass immediatley comes back in, with no muddying up of the low-end. |

| ohh!
but anyways in hardcore the bassline is allways separatd from the kick |

| yeah, but if you've got something where the bassline and the kick happen to be going at the same time, and you want your kick to still be punchy without adding so much bass that you redline, it's the way to go.. or if you want your snare to stand out, you'd make your lead duck out whenever the snare hits.. |

| Even if the kick and bass arent happening at the same time, like in most of the music I write, that little "duck" is still very effective in giving the whole thing a "bounce" .. using the tc native bundle.. drop the sidechainer on your kick and the compressor deesser on your bassline. Try setting attack to 0 release to 0, ratio to roughly 1.4 and then play with the threshold. |
