very nice! i lately used Infiltrator 2 to create sidechaining but i like this "oldschool" way of doing it even more. hope to see more of your useful vids in the future.
My mixer does not look like this at all, and even though I followed the steps all the way up to loading an instrument, I can't get it to work. Nothing happens. Are you using some plugin for the mixer that allows this? Also, what was the key command for creating the doofer? :D
I set up sidechain this way and it works creating a pumping effect, but there's an unwanted click at the start of the compressor being triggered, why could that be, any suggestions? thx
Yeah I don't really use this method anymore, opting instead for lfo control of gainers. This gets rid of the click, provided you sculpt your lfo properly. Check out this more recent video: ruclips.net/video/fY2ZyRARsuw/видео.htmlsi=O4mZNGedaX1o1nO_
The lfo envelope is the main control for the compression level. LPC means lines per cycle (of the lfo), so it controls the rate of movement of the response curve. You would generally want the lpc value set to the same value as your LPB, but that will vary somewhat based on what you're trying to achieve. As far as the clicking goes, a lot of that is going to depend on how extreme the compressor settings are, and the character of the sound you are compressing. If it's an issue, you can always swap out the compressor for a gainer device, using -inf and 0 db as your bounds
@@MrZensphere also notice static with the compressor, having a hard time removing the clicking without removing the ducking at the same time, the gainer doesnt do it for me or maybe my settings are off
@@hertz_me that can happen, depending on the level of the input signal and compressor settings. The gainer is a good workaround if the compressor is problematic. Set the lfo destination to a hydra input, then use gainer gain as a hydra destination, -inf min, 0db max. Should do the trick
renoise sound crashs when i have the doofer activated and i have to reload the project, when i turn off the doofer i dont seem to have any issues any fix for this? or do i need a better cpu? i have a i7 6700k,
It's a nice method for several reasons. Flexible, detailed response curves, automatable params to impact the character of the compression, and overall a snappier response than using the signal follower. Because the trigger is instantaneous (more or less) you can really sculpt the sidechain signal with a lot more precision than the signal follower allows, and you can have completely different sidechain behavior happening on different tracks using this method

Oh, I didn't know that :) Thanks a lot! Can it be done using Lazy Kenneth free VST?
Always useful knowledge from this guy

Yay! new vid :)
cool tip! thanks.

not sure which settings to mess with, is the main control for the ducking the LPC? and is there a way to remove the clicking noise?

Good video, I've also been using signal follower / hydra, keen to give this a try
