SideChaining tips
SideChaining tips
A few side chaining questions.. Can it be done with quality in Live 6? Is it worth upgrading to 7 solely for it's new effects with side chaining capabilities? Do you use it in mastering samples/songs? Is it even worth investigating?
any thoughts, I've tried it with a freeware compressor in LIve 6 a few times but other wise, I'm clueless

I use side chaining in Live 7, mostly for basslines and melodies...
I think that's it's slightly different in 6 but still pretty easy.
I'm pretty sure the guy in this tutorial is using live 6

it sounds like deadmau5, or glen morrison or pryda style...

sidechaining has been possible in Live since v4 when they put in the best routing on the planet. you just need any VST effect that has sidechain inputs...I prefer Kjaerhus for this.
Now to answer your question about upgrading to l7...yes absolutely worth it. Not only do you get native sidechain, you also get higher quality plugs, including EQ, Compressor, Operator, Saturator, etc, and you get a 64-bit mix engine. All of which adds up to huge benefits in overall sound.

Really? I've not found that.
People also forget about the sidechain capability in Gate and Autofilter too. Sidechaining becoming a stable word for pumping your shit using the kick drum rather than an overacrhing ability to affect a plug using an alternative audio signal. [/rant mode off]
I'm pretty sure I rendered a guitar track with a sidechained autofilter from a different audio track obviously, without trouble. Is it just the sidechained compressor that doesnt render?
Whaddya mean?

Sure it is. Just solo the sidechained track (which is still receiving the input signal, which means it's still being sidechained) and then Resample the audio to a track. Rendering in Live is also among the most flexible options out there in a DAW.Landser wrote:A sad aspect is, the rendering of single tracks, that are sidechained, is not possible.
^ meh, freezing is over-rated. If I want to save resources, I resample, then deactivate the previous channels and plugs, and I move onward. Resampling also gives me the option to render at lower than 32-bit audio, as well as capturing any realtime tweaks while rendering.
Sure, freezing is faster, but for most things, I barely use it.
