Help with Side chaining in FL Studio

[DefeaterDub]

Hey guys! I'm having a problem in FL 10, side chaining with the Fruity Limiter. Let's say I'm side chaining my bass bus to my kick and snare. If I have Ohmicide, or an EQ on my bass bus, when I side chain the effects from my bass bus apply to what it's side chained to. Can anyone help? I know I can resample with the effects on it then side chain it, but that is such a hassle, when this SHOULD work smoothly. Thanks in advance guys.

Apply the limiter after the fx?

You're probably not doing this the right way. To sidechain with the Fruity Limiter you select the track that's controlling it (the kick), right click on the little arrow on the bottom of your bass bus and select Sidechain to Track (IIRC), then you add the limiter to the bass bus, go to the Comp tab and then in the sidechain box you right click and select your kick channel. Then tweak the parameters. If it's still doing it then you've encountered a very rare bug.

If it's not working you could just sidechain with the fruit Peak Controller. It's not as good IMO if you want different sidechain settings but might work as a last resort as it doesn't route the tracks in any way.

I am side chaining properly! and the limiter is after the fx. If I bounce to audio then side chain it's fine! (assuming that the effects were applied pre-bounce) The peak control is okay but it has it's limits.. Guess I'll stick to resampling, thanks guys

Answering with 'I am side chaining properly' is pretty ironic and kinda rude lol

Anyway, explain properly what you mean, is it side chaining all of the fx in that channel strip? How exactly have you side chained?

Yea using peak controler won't give you the same affect, even though it does have its uses.

If you can explain a bit about how your actually trigger and what your using to set up the side chain I might be able to help.

Tweaking the peak controller can give you pretty much exactly the same sound as the limiter in my experience but it's limited since you'll get the same settings on each channel unless you load up one controller for each track you wanna sidechain which is tedious and takes up FX-slots.

i find it easier to sidechain with fruity compresser + threshold, link your kicks to the fx channel along with snares and maybe duplicate the kick and snare , maybe side chain the sub of the kick + snare then duplicate the sub and you got the un effected drums + snares if that made any sense

oor, side chain invisible kick + snare and have the normal ones hit at the same time where the gaps are

I usually sidechain mute sound like hihat and just put that where ever i want the sidechaining to work

i just use gross beat for simple sidechaining
