A technique made popular many years ago by legendary producers, Daft Punk – sidechain compression has become a staple part of dance music ever since. But – nobody said staple had to mean boring, right? Correct. To breathe new life into this widely known but commonly underused technique, we asked one of electronic music’s most prolific producers – BOT – to take a new look at multiband sidechain methods of production and shine a creative light on some new and exciting ways to implement it into your own productions. Across five chapters, BOT shares his own techniques for using Multiband Sidechain, Compression and Expansion in a creative way; you’ll learn how the process affects the sound, how it can help add a ‘human touch’ to electronic music, how to use it when working with hi hats, and how it impacts the final mixdown. Working from Ableton and using  Pro-MB plugin, BOT’s Creative Use Of Multiband Sidechain tutorial for Mixtank is a masterclass in how to get the very best out of your sound using tips and tricks that BOT commonly applies to his own productions which have seen releases on Mad Decent, Southern Fried, Dirtybird, Relief, Fool’s Gold and more.
