Sidechain the kick of a sampletank 4 drum kit[Resolved]

Postby meepet1 » Mon Nov 30, 2020 7:57 pm

Hi, any advice on how to sidechain just the kick of a sampletank 4 drum kit? Do I have to re-record the kits individual sounds to get at just the kick or is there an easier way? Thanks

You guys I figured it out! Ableton's compressor has a sidechain option where you select the channel with your drum kit, right? Well there is a nifty little EQ button next to the sidechain button. Use that to select the low frequencies where your kick is, and boom beautiful sidechaining using Sampletank's many awesome drum kits.

Hope this helps anybody else with the same problem. It is a lifesaver and my mixes just leveled up
