I find the multiband sidechain quite difficult cuz I don't have Fabfilter pro, I wonder if I can just do multiband sidechaining with ParametricEQ or Maximus instead of Fabfilter.

I think it can maybe be done with Maximus! With stock plugins I’d probably split the bands with Fruity Frequency Splitter then SC with fruity limiter on each channel

I use a unique kick / snare sample that I’ve shortened to the smallest size, that goes on their own mixer channels unlinked from the master so it doesn’t make sound, then sidechained wherever it needs to go

@spacesdnb 2 жыл бұрын

The sound is a saw with an LFO on a lowpass filter's cutoff to get a 1/8th rhythm. And I'm glad you like the song! It's probably going to change a bit when I finalize it but I'd like to release it :)

@spacesdnb Жыл бұрын

What kind of sound are you going for? Sound design can be as simple or as complicated as you want, I like to go simple and use effects to make it sit right and sound more polished. A bit of reverb/delay after you EQ your sound how you want should help it to sound bigger if that’s the problem you’re having?
