As a music producer I knew that I wanted a compressor and a sidechain (I mean, I use it in eeevery single song for that pumping effect when the kick hits) but I struggled to find how to set it up. This tutorial was very helpful thank you!

Cheers mate, happy with the results. I did actually have to go into the bus settings by double clicking on the bus send on the speech channel strip and set it to "on", I also set the "send level" to 100 as it was set to 0 by default, I don't know if this was necessary but before doing this I wasn't getting any side chain compression, and afterwards I was. I then just set my compressor settings right, mostly the ADSR settings so that the music wasn't going quiet and loud again so suddenly and jarringly, and now it's smooth and sounding great! Essentially it works just like on Logic Pro X which is what I'm used to, just with all the buttons in slightly different places, so it helped to have someone just show me where to go!

now obviously the weakness of the sidechain is there is no lookahead. automation will always be superior, but more time consuming. be sure to have a slow enough release so that the music doesn't pump for every short silence

I think getting the release and other settings correct is probably the more difficult parts of this approach.

Very confusing. Got sidetracked by the discussion of the compressor because you did not say upfront it is needed. Would have benefited grately by a quick list of steps followed by the watching of you doing them. I’ll watch this again. Hopefully, will be able to see the magic “send” item, but on iPad, hard to see fine details that you don’t zoom in on.
