    I like to sidechain my vocal delay and reverb sends so they duck while the vocal is being heard, but come back up in volume in between phrases. Really fills in the spaces nicely without clouding up the vocal performance itself.

    @@clintbeasthood9758 I used to do it that way, but when you automate the sends instead of mix knob, sometimes you hear the delay repeats of the previous lines that you don't want to hear. Sends automation are just more efficient, usually. Besides, I use reaper and sends automation is quicker to set up and makes things more organized than anything else. But hey, whatever works for you is just fine lol

    As much as I watch this, I still watch this when side chaining every song I create, just to make sure I’m doing things correctly. I love this tutorial and how you explain what to listen for. If you have any other side chaining tutorials besides these 4 that are commonly used, I would love to see them. I own just about all of your plugins and sound packs. Everything is the best I’ve ever used. I love things that let me get good sound fast so I can focus on creating. Your tutorials help so much! Thank you! Ever since I started using your plug ins, watching these tutorials, and joining NTM when I can, my songwriting has gotten better bc the complicated stuff has become much simpler. 🔥 Ps The sub drop/everything one was a game changer. Sub drops can get ugly real real fast! Haha

    This sub drop sidechain could be substituted with plain automatization. I've been doing notch automatization that follows sub-note, probably overkill approach. I could do that because I automated synth and found spots for a notch cut then automated pitch fall and the same for notch cut.

    I've been using most of those featured sidechain tricks...good one on the snare/guitars. However! A sidechained gate would be much better than compression e.g. with vox? As when you use compression, soft vocal parts duck, let's say, the guitars only a little - but you want the opposite effect i.e. the softer the trigger, the more dramatic the reduction on the conflicting element. ReaGate has a built-in feature just for this use case. Summa summarum: a sidechained gate ducks the conflicting element more consistently than a compressor. Just what you need for clarity...

    bass frequencies take longer to develop, so it's not unusual to offset the sidechains. totally depends on the source and destination tones and tuning though :O
