Using Sidechain Compression to Get Your Track Pumping

In this video I show you how to use sidechain compression in Logic Pro X to get a pumping/ducking effect in your own tracks.
This effect is used frequently in electronic dance music by artists such as Daft Punk and many others.

Thanks Killstarr! Also great sounding pad and bass sounds. Think you could send me the presets? I suck at programming synths...

+Killstarr I do have Diva, you can send them to [e-mail] if that works for you. Thank you so much :)

Dope chord progression. Diva is such a beast.

+Killstarr you mentioned you would do like to hear requests for other tutorials. Can you do one on this chord progression? I love synthwave and those chords just make me happy : ) and your tutorials rock! Thanks

[@binaryoblivion2882]

+ragecagegroves I'd love to see that too. At the risk of stealing Killstarr's thunder, I think it is in the scale of A minor. G major, A minor, etc. The last 4 chords are not triads though - like I think the chord on the 6th bar is an F major 7 (F major with an added E note).
