![]() ![]() Once inserted the pin connections will look like this: ![]() The instructions presented are intended to be generic and should be similar for other kinds of plugins with a sidechain control from other vendors.įirst, go to your plugin list and select the plugin you want to use: In this example we will show a popular third party VST plugin product called FabFilter Pro-G. The following is a general description of how to connect the sidechain control on plugins. Mixbus provides 2 side-chainable plugins by default: a-Compressor and a-Expander Using Sidechains in Mixbus6Īs noted above, the built-in sidechain feature has been removed from Mixbus6. To access the plugin’s input connections, you should use the pin manager as described in this video: Mixbus can feed “any” audio track or input source to a side-chainable plugin. Sidechains Using Third-party Plugins and the Plugin Pin-management Dialog A sidechain is any input that affects the plugin processing, but isn’t directly heard by the user. Other Uses of SidechainĪlternative uses of a sidechain include feeding a gate or vocoder. In this case the release is set very slow after each beat the signal slowly rises, reaching full intensity just before the next beat. In dance/EDM styles, it is often used to generate a “pumping” effect using the kick drum or a “ghost” kick drum track that is not actually heard. In pop/rock music, this technique is sometimes used to “duck” the bass guitar on each kick-drum hit, making the bass and kick drum sound like a single instrument. Side-chain compression reduces the level of the signal using a different signal to trigger the volume reduction. The louder the signal is, the more the compressor will reduce it. What is Sidechain Compression?Ĭompression is an automated way of reducing a signal’s level, dependent on the signal’s own loudness. Instead, you should use the full-featured “plugin” sidechain buses described below. ![]() Since most sidechain tasks benefit from precise control over the threshold, ratio, attack and release, we decided to remove the limited sidechain bus that was incorporated in the channelstrip compressor. This feature was provided in Mixbus version 3,4, & 5 because we had limited support for sidechain-able plugins. ! NOTE: The built-in sidechain feature has been removed from Mixbus v6.
