Clean sidechain compression
See this video
With compressor
Good for dynamic source, simpler to setup
- sidechain input pre-fx
- Ratio infinite
- attack the lowest possible without artefacts
- detection mode: peak (especially for drums)
With LFOTool
Good for source with fixed velocity
- Do not send directly midi to the lfo tool
- create a midi track with an external instrument to have latency compensation and copy paste midi notes
- one midi track and one lfo tool per sidechain source
- Or .. use an instrument rack ?
- LFOTool midi config: note retrigger in env mode
- handle clipping on attack : use smooth param but sometimes it’s good to add punch. don’t stop it until the end because then it would not play in ENV mode
- Make it less aggressive by using the split button (down right).
