Check out the dubspot blog to learn more: bit.ly – In this video (part 2 of 3 focusing on Sidechaining in Ableton Live) Dubspot instructor and Ableton expert Steve Nalepa explains and demonstrates compression basics within the Compressor-Sidechain audio effect in Live. He explains Dynamic Range, or the ratio between the loudest and the quietest sounds. As he states in part 1, Sidechain Compression simply allows “different elements of your songs to essentially dance together.” Nalepa starts here by adding compression o the group tracks he created in part 1 (dubstep drum pattern with a simple kick and snare and some couple of synths.)
