Exactly, instead of a standard compressor which is just looking at the input signal to compress it’s also set to “listen” from whatever channel is bussed to it, so keeps the levels in check then when it’s trigger comes through then it ducks aswell 🙂

Does cubase 4 have their own internal compressor with sidechain? With Cubase 5 they have these plugins already

It’s really simple basically setup the compressor on the guitars, enable the sidechain, then go to the track you want to use as the trigger i.e. kick and open up the channel, go to the sends list on the right hand side, and you should see an option in the drop down menu for side-chains and it should list the name of the track they are on, after than you will have to alter the fader to send more or less signal to the guitars depending on the depth of the compression, if you can’t hear any ducking it’s probably that the comp threshold is too high or the send is too low.

Aside from that if you don’t have the pre-made internal route, dbaudioware works nice, you just insert it on each of the tracks you want to include and set one to “listen” the other to “send” and it pretty much routes it through it’s own dll’s rather than cubase’s routing.

hope that helps! 🙂

You and I are going to have to compare notes with our new batch of mixes 🙂
