Why Game Composers NEED To Master Sidechain Compression

Описание: As a game composer you wear every hat : Composer, Producer, Mixer, Manager. In this video I break down three essential sidechaining techniques that will immediately improve your mixes.

Example 1: Using a kick to trigger a compressor on a pad for rhythmic pumping — and how to automate the wet/dry to keep your loop musical over repeat listens.

Example 2: Using a kick to trigger a dynamic EQ on your bass instruments to let the kick speak without losing too much low end from your bass.

Example 3: Using a melody to trigger a dynamic EQ on a pad to reduce midrange masking and let your melody speak in a dense mix.

Key Instruments and Plugins:

FabFilter - Pro Q4
FabFilter - Pro C2
Arturia - Mini V
Arturia - Delay Tape - 201
Wave Alchemy - Radiance EMT - 140
