Nice! Another great rock n roll trick is to HP the bass around 80Hz, boost at 100 and push the kick at 58-64. Compression to taste and you're good to go! Quick and easy. Really works a treat on up-tempo ditties, too. :)

Great Chris, as usual ! 👍 I regularly use another variant. I send my bass in parallel into an auxiliary track with a low pass filter around 100 Hz, 6db/oct slope. And I reverse the polarity of this auxiliary track. The low pass filter then becomes a low cut / low shelf. Finally, I place a gate just behind the filter, sidechained with the kick. So the bass is filtered into the bass frequencies only when the kick hits. Greetings from France. 🇨🇵 😉

What are the advantages of that technique?
@kissofkaos19 ай бұрын
@@mystycblade Hi, This technique simply gives me more flexibility. I can control the amount of reduction I apply to the bass with a simple fader, under my finger. And if another instrument (cello, bass synth, or others...) interferes with the kick, I don't need to duplicate an instance of multi-band compression: I can send this instrument to my aux, and move on.

Great video! I use Frequency for side-chaining, especially for ducking electric bass or ducking midrange (chord) instruments that should create space for the melody. Most of the time, Frequency sounds more pleasant to my ears than using regular compression, spectral compression, Baby Audios smooth operator, or even soothe. Also, if you are using frequency you don't even need a duplicated drum track for scenarios similar to your last example: Frequency should by default only listen to the relevant frequency range of your input signal - and at 100 Hz the kick should be pretty much dominant. If that is not enough, you can still turn off the auto side-chain filter mode, choose your own trigger frequency, and go for 60 Hz or something. ;)

You're right about Frequency, I wanted to keep this video to work with any plugins, but I will make a dedicated video on Frequency soon :). Thanks for watching!

I often use the last technique in this tutorial to separate guitar and bas. I engage a side chained frequncy 2 on guitar track low frequencies triggered by the bas.

Love using this trick! Thanks Chris! Is there a way in Cubase if you have edited an event and maybe did some slip editing or moved the event from it's original position, a way to get it back to it's original position with a key command?
@kiseki49011 ай бұрын
or you use a gate with side chain kick and fix the floor to -6db. The cubase's gate can select the trigger's frequency. it's easiest.

@AndyNicholson11 ай бұрын
Turning Auto off in the Side Chain section of Frequency and dialing in the actual frequency to respond to seems like a better and cleaner way to do this rather than creating an entirely new track and filtering it down. Not saying this is a bad option - there's always more than one way to do things and perhaps sometimes this might be best for people without Frequency, but if you're using it for the second demonsrtation then you may as well use it again, the side chain capabilities in Frequency are powerful enough to do it all on its own.. It also gives you the ability to do things like pump the high frequencies in response to a low frequency trigger which can make some really wild pumping tracks this way. Thanks for the vid.
@mixdownonline11 ай бұрын
Yes, you're correct. Frequency has that ability. And yes, the way I showed will work for everyone that doesn't work with Frequency. Thanks for your input!

All this did for me was remove all the low end from my electric bass. I note you had it on a synth bass. It actually sounded much better before I put it on.

Hi Chris thank's for the video. My question is in case of SC compressor for base line (triggered by KD) do you use another (2nd) compressor (with no SC) to manage dynamics of the base line with this final (2nd) compressor or do you use the one (SC comp) for whole dynamics of base line. Hope you understand what is my point. Thank's in advance.Jan
@Studio22mix11 ай бұрын
The sidechain only compresses the bass when the kick triggers so for overal compression on the bass I allways use a 2nd compressor 😊

One more trick: to use sidechain frequency knob in Frequency2 EQ (instead of auto). No need to create copy - just focus on frequency that you want
