I just read up on sidechaing compression (ducking) and i need a compressor that has a key in feature so that the kick can control the dynamics of my bass. I have all the waves plugins and the Nomand pack and Nuedo 3. Do any of these contain a sidechaining compressor that has this? thanks people.

Those waves plugs are like $5k, how can you have them and not know how they work?

You downloaded them, fair enough. In a nutshell the same way that you'd use native plug ins to side chain.

Be honest with me you crack em because if so I know whats wrong...

Does your interface look fucked too or does the skin load?

You can just draw in an automation node for bypass or enable

good lord. this thread..

thers no problem with my software, i just just need to know what one. Do u work for the Waves police? shit... asking me all these questions about where did i get them and are they cracked. does it matter bro?

no I am not the waves police I was just answering your question. and a word of advice... waves plug ins arent exactly the greatest for dubstep production... they make things sound too nice. I use the stock logic plug ins and waves for everything else... but yes read up on your daw... there is always a way to automate turning the compressor on or off.

thanks but i just want to know what one has key in feature. I learned how to sidechain today and i want to try it out but i need that feature. automation doesnt have the same effect. but thanks

if you knew how to properly sidechain you wouldnt need that feature. and no automation is 1 way of doing it.. there are other ways... you just need to think outside the box...

jesus some of you lot are so fucking self righteous.

check out fabfilter pro-c, excellent compressor with piss easy side chain function including a key filter.

great starting point and easy to use

I haven't used the Waves stuff for years (not since I went legit, anyway), but IIRC, the "sidechaining" on the C1 is a bit weird. From what I remember, as your sidechain trigger you have the choice of channel L, channel R, the input put through a filter or crossover, or some combination of the above - but in order to sidechain off another signal altogether, you'd have to route it to the left input, route your audio to be compressed to the right channel, and sidechain L->R or something along those lines. Pain in the arse. Then again, that was maybe 4 or 5 years ago, so it might be handled differently in a newer version....
