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.
OSS delivers every ounce of that magic, classic sound. There’s a sidechain filters (Detector). Plus, you can choose from even more colors by flipping a switch and bypassing the interstage transformer. Perfect for basses and vocals. The “Detector” filters will shape your compressor sidechain. Control low freqs, mid freqs. High Freq will control your high freq sensitivity and tame it. OSS is all about delivering that classic sound, without the classic’s limitations. Another extra feaure is MIX. Now, you can mix your compressed and uncompressed sound!
X was created with the goal to achieve the biggest sound perceivable within two channels. Utilizing multiple psycho-acoustic effects it has quickly become a unique effect beyond a simple imaging tool. This is your X factor, if a sound is not where you want it, put your secret weapon on it. The power is in your hands now, I know you won’t disappoint me. You are now a sonic dimension creator!
There seem to be two types of mix engineers: those who own a pair of the original units this plug is inspired by, and those who want to. I can’t give you the original, but I can give you my twisted take on it. For starters, I tweaked the distortions to make them fuzzier, because I have a fondness for dirt & grime. I added a 250Hz sidechain HPF option which leaves all bass frequencies uncompressed, as well as a 6kHz sidechain ‘push’ to smooth out harsh, aggressive stuff. Most compressors press sounds back, this one pushes them forward. The original is in every million dollar studio, now my version can be in yours
