For the lovely folks that say this is possible with Trackspacer and/or Fabfilter Pro-Q3: Yes, it kind of is, but you will need to add multiple instances of the plugins to have separate sidechain INPUTS like I do here on the video. Don't confuse sidechain *sources* with sidechain *inputs* they are a very, very different thing :)
That sounds about right... you can also use Soothe 2 for this, and Neutron too. I really wish Ableton would copy some of this functionality into eq8 though.
Bitwig doesn't even support multiple sidechain sources (without hacking together a cluttered mess of multiple audio receivers), let alone multiple inputs. Similarly, it doesn't support multi-out vst instruments either. I don't understand why that is because their modulator routing is arguably best in class, and is the reason I have it. If only Cubase had modulator routing like Bitwig. It'd be the perfect DAW. Well, almost perfect due to the inspiration-killing audio drop outs when adding plugins. After working in Bitwig extensively I find the audio drop outs in Cubase to be unacceptable at this point. That said, imo Cubase is perhaps the most well rounded and feature rich DAW available (a true workhorse), and Bitwig is, for me anyway, the most inspiring and creative DAW around. C'mon Steinberg - let me modulate anything by everything already!
You are more than right. There is nothing that comes close to Frequency 2. Honestly, I would get Cubase only for Frequency, if I didn’t own it already. Great video once again!
Hope you are not thinking anymore and you simply got it. Honestly every DAW is awesome, they have no impact on quality of your music but you will love Cubase. Cubase is like swiss knife. Doesn't look like tool with bazilion tricks until you bring them out. You can switch between all DAWs looking for happiness like a b1tch on tinder but true gem is there in front of you xD
@@jaco1368 I love it. I’ve actually been using Cubase for many years, but Dom always comes through with something I don’t know. It’s amazing how much is in Cubase. It takes years to learn it all. Even so, Dom always unearths something we all missed. 😂
@@vkm.official happy to hear Atar,I never look for anything until I really need it but always sure Cubase will have it. Replaced LPX on my mac and is also doing as host for Ableton routed over Blackhole64ch. I don't use all channels but I like use like 8xStereo and do the mixing and tweaking in Cubase. Second thing is that Dom....Dom basically knows more about Cubase than Steinberg.
Usually, I don't make out massive differences through RUclips videos, when it comes to EQ-ing, but this is very obvious. This mixing method clearly changes the perception of the track.
I've been working with Pro24/Cubase since 1988 and I still learn new things. Today, you just taught me to use the pre-fader function to feed the side-chain, so smart! I was struggling with that 😂 Thank you so much for your channel, Dom! Greetings from a French producer in BC. (Allez la France !!! ⚽)
It's funny because the EQ curves at 8:48 look like what the singer's lips must have done when she was singing the take Love your vids Dom I learn so much!
For everyone searching for an alternative way to do the same thing : fabfilter pro-mb might be the best option. In most DAWs you can't get multiple sidechain input to the same plug-in, so you're going to use one instance of pro-mb per sidechain inputs. I like to use these techniques on my instruments' bus (where there's most instruments, but NOT the bass). One first instance of pro-mb will be triggered by the vocals to attenuate competing frequencies. A second one is triggered by the bass to make space for it in the low mids. Exactly as in this video ! As this process can become addictive, these are several things you need to be aware of : - attack/release times have to fit the music. Learn how to listen to these parameters, you can f*ck the whole groove of the song just trying to get clarity. - pro-mb should work with oversampling and accurate phase modes in order to avoid aliasing or phase shifts/ringing stuff. This is more advanced but keepi in mind you're doing frequency-specific compression on a whole bus of instruments. For recent mixes I went even deeper (modern 808-rap) : - pro-mb on the 808's lows (
Thanks for the comment! Trackspacer is amazing for this sort of thing but you have to add multiple instances of it. I would favour Pro-Q3 instead of MB if you don’t have Cubase. You can pinpoint the frequencies that you want much better - MB is a multi and compressor which will have a broader impact on your material :)
@@DomSigalas I agree that MB always work in broad bands, but this limits phase shifts, and you don't have access to release time with Q3. This is 100% achievable with Q3 tho, a matter of preference 😎 Really great video man
why not add a list of several sidechain signals into trackspacer? At common signal levels, I typically use something like 8% or so in trackspacer. That's it's only weakness IMO, that the interface kind suggests the user to set way too much of the effect
most of the high quality cubase videos out there have your name on it dude. You've always got great workarounds and thought processes on this stuff I really appreciate it. this one was particularly good and I think it's going to change a lot of my outcome. I come from tape back in the '60s, last century. so all through to the end of that century we had to do all this stuff manually. although the saturation and lack of tracks made it palatable. The stuff you talk about now wasn't even a dream back then. I really can't keep up with it all so I count on guys like you for a compass when I'm working on very projects where I just need that one little trick to get through to the end of this one if you know what I mean. thanks for another great video.
Dom... Thank you SO much for this. I've struggled with muddy mixes for years and for me this is a game changer. As always, you're killing it with the useful in the real-world Cubase tutorials!
Great. I know now that I have the functionality of Fabfilter Pro Q3 inside Cubase ! Thanks for explaining so well and pronounce so well to be understood by english people but also by non english people.
I got into Cubase for two reasons. One was that my style is a little cinematic at times and Cubase is good for that. And the other reason was Dom's videos. I haven't regretted my choice of Cubase for a second and I learn something useful every time I watch this channel. It's gold dust!
I always had a problem understanding how the piano would sound so heavy and bassy on the intro in some songs but immediately the the bass and kick comes in it just balance without clashing 😮 so this is the trick! Thank you sir. In a case like this I would use two piano tracks one with low end and mid on intro and the other with less low and mid on the chorus😂
Wow Dom! I’ve been waiting for this high level of explanation for side chain in freq2 told so simply that even I can understand it and you nailed superbly as always! Thanks so much! ❤
This just improved like 70% of my mixes or at least decreased the time I have to spend trying to figure out how to make them sound cleaner and clearer!!!! Thanks Dom!!!!!
I must confess to you Dom, you are really a great teacher, although I'm a cakewalker (Sonar Platinum) user, but you have opened my eyes to many things. This tutorial is really great sir. Love from 🇳🇬
In REAPER: Add ReaEQ to the track you want to EQ dynamically Drag the route button from the track that you want to prioritize to ReaEQ (literally drag and drop on the GUI) This will create a 3/4 send Select the band you want to move dynamically, choose the bandwidth, frequency, etc. Click on the Gain slider of your chosen band Then go to the "Param" button on the top right of the plugin window Click "Parameter modulation/MIDI Link" Double click the slider in the top to center it Click on the "Audio control signal (sidechain)" checkbox Track audio channel 3+4 At the bottom "Direction" to Negative Move the min volume and max volume sliders up and down to where you want your signal to be affected, like a compressor threshold Attack, Release and Strength for finer adjustment
I do this kind of thing all the time with tdr nova and the other day it occurred to me I could be using frequency and have even more control- however I didn't even think of having multiple sources! GENIUS! THANKS DOM!!!
You can do it Ableton too with eq 8 where you put a envelope follower on the track you want to be the “side chain” and then map the frequency band you want it to affect. But I usually use trackspacer by wavesfactory :)
I used to use Trackspacer as well, but I discovered this Frequency and it's much better. I change it inmediately, cause Trackspacer doesn't have release fader.
Ok, This is the coolest trick I've seen in a long time! When ducking a track keyed from multiple side chain sources I always jumped through the hoop of bussing the key signals to a channel which then acted as the SC key. It works but this is *so* much easier! Until now I had no idea that Cubase supported multiple SC inputs. Thank you!
I'm happy I discover that mixing technique about two years ago, and I use it on every track I mix, in fact, Frequency eq is the plugin that I use the most on my daily workflow!
Yes, absolute GOLD! Bookmarked this video, it's my go to video for mixing. I changed from Cakewalk by Bandlab to Cubase 6 months ago, and with your great tutorials, I am so happy. Love Cubase and your advice and the way you present is so great and easy to understand! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💖 👍
DOM!!! Simply put... You are the MAN!! I'm learning so much about Cubase from you. Thanks for your passion, your willingness to dive into it, and your generosity to share what you find. God bless you!
Great timing on this. I have a Rhodes, a singer and a bass all going on in a session that I haven't started mixing yet. This will be one of my first moves! Thanks, Dom!
This technique can be done in Studio one but not with one plugin for multiple elements as Dom do here. I think you can do that technique with others EQs on the market as the Pro Q3 by fabfilter or Kirchhoff-EQ. But this is a great example on how to make space into a mix. Nice video by the way!
I use this all the time an fall even more in love with cubase since they implementet this feature and i love the general sidechain handeling as well. 😍
Yes, in bitwig studio, there are ways to accomplish this using the audio sidechain modulator. You can have as many as your would like. One way you can do this: use them mid-side split device, put an EQ+ device in the mid chain, add as many audio sidechain modulators as you need, set the frequency ranges for the sidechain modulators, then use the modulators to each dynamically duck a frequency range on the EQ+ device. It sounds complicated, but it's not bad, and you can customize it to your heart's content. You can probably do it in the grid (the built-in modular synth and FX construction set) also. Thanks for the video! You could also maybe use a few TDR Nova devices (a free plugin).
I love the use of stock plugins for critical moves such as this. Not only is it a classic use of ducking to make mixes clearer but also showing the power of the stock plugins and vindication of the investment we all made in buying Cubase instead of another DAW or in a third party plugin. Bravo!
My biggest problem is I'm a writer, not so much producer or engineer, and feel like I dont have the ear to really dial down the finer points. Dom, you are a God send!!!
Now that, is pretty F'n slick!!. Guess I need to start using Freq2 😉 This can take the place of various automation moves on different tracks. Powerful stuff, thank you! ☺🙏
I wish I had this video about two months ago for the track I was working on at the time. It could still help me now to go back and remaster some tracks.
Dom, that's astonishing! That's great! And I really appreciate the way you explained it. I applied it to my mix and now it's way better! Can't believe it! You're really the best man!
This was extremely useful to learn. I switched to Cubase about a year ago and still learning. Your tutorials have been a great source. I was using external plugins to achieve this result but I am so surprised and shocked to learn Cubase has it built-in. Shows I gotta explore the DAW more. Thanks again Dom!
Regular user of the freq2 side chain functionality, mostly kick and bass but seems to work wonderfully on other elements too. Excellent tutorial as always Dom!
As soon as I saw the problem I thought of the trackspacer plugin. It is a weapon I use very often. But at the end of the video I thought . "Oh yes, it's true, 8 side chains in a single plugin can simplify life. Thank you Mr Sigalas.
One of the reasons I’ve returned to Cubase is for features like this; most other DAWs are sadly lacking when compared to Cubase, which I feel is one of the most complete and feature packed DAWs out there.
Dom,a video about the cubase saturation on drumbusses etc would be nice. I notice alot of cubase people tend to buy third party plugins while cubase has some great build in.
Always amazing content. I did not know Frequency could to that. I was using Trackspacer for similar reasons but mostly for the low end. This was sooo helpful! Thanks:)
Oh really thank You, i've been using Cubase for 5years, and i just know This amazing Eq can do the unique Sidechain today! and u always Give the good explain and Tips. :) 😍
Well well...absolutely brilliant. It always kills me when people say in the Cubase forum 'oh there's no point in Steinberg making more plugins', and then you see Frequency 2 in action. Great video, great real world use, thanks.
When playing with my new Cubase 12pro, I discovered this function of Frequency 2 and I said, this is really amazing. Every day I am happier that I left Avid in the past. Good luck Avid! Your videos are always great and you transmit enthusiasm! thank you!
Another amazing tutorial from Dom! Thanks!! We have several EQ plugins, but Cubase's stock Frequency 2 is actually THE favorite go-to EQ in our studio, so I was thrilled to see this awesome tip.
super good trick, thanks. Was really not aware of multi sc for frequency. And this in combination of M/S.. and a really good example to demonstrate these features ... great!
Love it! Your explaination is always so quick on the point and on a premium level! Because of you, there will be so many good mixes out there! 😁 Thanks for sharing your knowledge! All Love ☘️🙌
Every time I start to think I need a new expensive plugin Dom comes along with a video explaining how to easily accomplish my goals using stock plugins! Damn. Thanks 👏
Nice!! Learned your concept (perfect!!) plus some new subtle goodies (“compare” [oh my gosh how could I have forgotten that!!] and “pre-fader” and more!).

Thank you, Dom, you are amazing! Tell me, what song is it? And who is the wonderful singer?

Split the vocal in mid & side. In mid channel side chain with your problematic channels.
why not add a list of several sidechain signals into trackspacer? At common signal levels, I typically use something like 8% or so in trackspacer. That's it's only weakness IMO, that the interface kind suggests the user to set way too much of the effect

Perfect trick,once again Dom...Thank you for all the support and the will to make us better...Keep walking, we follow you, thank you for everything!
In REAPER:
Add ReaEQ to the track you want to EQ dynamically
Drag the route button from the track that you want to prioritize to ReaEQ (literally drag and drop on the GUI)
This will create a 3/4 send
Select the band you want to move dynamically, choose the bandwidth, frequency, etc.
Click on the Gain slider of your chosen band
Then go to the "Param" button on the top right of the plugin window
Click "Parameter modulation/MIDI Link"
Double click the slider in the top to center it
Click on the "Audio control signal (sidechain)" checkbox
Track audio channel 3+4
At the bottom "Direction" to Negative
Move the min volume and max volume sliders up and down to where you want your signal to be affected, like a compressor threshold
Attack, Release and Strength for finer adjustment
Yup, actually you can modulate any plugin parameter , that's the beauty of Reaper "Parameter modulation" !
And since you can have as many channels on a track and sends to it as you want, you can do the multiple side chains with a single EQ instance.
Oh damn, you are gonna make me look into Cubase. Man, I could have used this sorta stuff back in 2003.
I do this kind of thing all the time with tdr nova and the other day it occurred to me I could be using frequency and have even more control- however I didn't even think of having multiple sources! GENIUS! THANKS DOM!!!

another insightful demonstration. no doubt Dom is the no.1 Cubase Guru
I love your grin when you activate the side chain, because same
Wow. Life changer. So beautiful. Like an artist painting with the brush. ❤
Well well...absolutely brilliant. It always kills me when people say in the Cubase forum 'oh there's no point in Steinberg making more plugins', and then you see Frequency 2 in action. Great video, great real world use, thanks.
This is an OUTSTANDING tutorial! Thank you Dom ! Putting this to use in 5....4....3....2....
Great tips, Dom! Thanks for sharing.
Brother, this is an awesome technique. Thank you for keeping me excited about mixing.
When playing with my new Cubase 12pro, I discovered this function of Frequency 2 and I said, this is really amazing. Every day I am happier that I left Avid in the past. Good luck Avid! Your videos are always great and you transmit enthusiasm! thank you!
This trick had helped me a lot in my mixing which has changed my life
❤️❤️❤️
Another amazing tutorial from Dom! Thanks!! We have several EQ plugins, but Cubase's stock Frequency 2 is actually THE favorite go-to EQ in our studio, so I was thrilled to see this awesome tip.
Would like to wish you all the best for 2023. This is a great advice. Thank you.
super good trick, thanks. Was really not aware of multi sc for frequency. And this in combination of M/S.. and a really good example to demonstrate these features ... great!
Love it! Your explaination is always so quick on the point and on a premium level! Because of you, there will be so many good mixes out there! 😁 Thanks for sharing your knowledge! All Love ☘️🙌
There is always something new to learn from you. ❤
BRILLIANT!!!!
I can‘t say it often enough. Thank you for your videos!!! You are amazing.Please never stop.
Every time I start to think I need a new expensive plugin Dom comes along with a video explaining how to easily accomplish my goals using stock plugins! Damn. Thanks 👏
Thank you, thank you. The timing of this video is spot on for me. As always, you break things down in an easy to follow way. Appreciate you.
Thank You Very Much!
🙂🙏
Nice!! Learned your concept (perfect!!) plus some new subtle goodies (“compare” [oh my gosh how could I have forgotten that!!] and “pre-fader” and more!).
Brilliant! I am never disappointed when I find out how much I don't know. You're bringin the heat Dom. Merci
