In this episode Chris & Jody talk about what Side-Chaining is and how to use it in your mixes! Side-Chaining is the process of using an audio signal to control the volume of another signal. It can be used in a variety of situations depending on your desired effect. We’ll cover how to set up your DAW and also with the MPC Live hardware so that you can Side-Chain, different methods of using Side-Chaining, and some important consideration for using Side-Chaining. Then we splash our Friday Finds to let you know what we think you should pay attention to this week. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
