how to side-chain in Cubase Studio4?

This topic was last updated 180 days ago, and thus it can be considered old.  Replying is disabled for this topic.

Hi alexy,i am now fairly competent with the cubase compressor and side-chaining.
I would like to understand how to use Crunchessor too.
I just don,t understand the 2 relevant manuals.
Could u take time out just to tell me how to set-up a basic ducking for kick and bass please?
This may sound a bit stupid,but in fact i learned how to duck just by trial and error,as there is no real help in the cubase manual on this.
I can now run a ghost kick track that uses side chain as well as a normal kick .To do this, i have to put a compressor on each channel insert i want,then dial up the send in the kick and dummy kick tracks.I have also to set the send to prefade and the dummy track,s volume to zero,but not muted.
i have no idea how to do this with crunch,sorry!
thanx careyj


Unfortunately, I can't be of much help here. "Easy" side-chaining is available for VST3 plug-ins in Cubase4, but I'm not going to support VST3 just for that feature.  Various other hosts (Ableton Live, latest Sonar) offer convenient ways of side-chaining - simply send some channel to plug-in's secondary inputs.  Side-chaining inside Crunchessor requires selection of Key Signal sources.  This is also done in a pretty straight-forward way: you simply overlap channel A with channel C, and channel B with channel D.

ok,
so, On channel A i put what ,the kick or the bass?How do i set up these key signals to get basic ducking?
Do i need crunchessor as an insert on the bass ,so should i find this available as a send on the kick channel?

If your bass and kick are mono tracks you may create a stereo FX track and send bass there panned left and kick panned right.  Then insert Crunchessor to that FX channel and set key source for channel A to "B" value, also mute the "B" channel.  This will duck the bass by the kick.

Aleksey Vaneev: If your bass and kick are mono tracks you may create a stereo FX track and send bass there panned left and kick panned right.  Then insert Crunchessor to that FX channel and set key source for channel A to ''B'' value, also mute the ''B'' channel.  This will duck the bass by the kick.
Thanks you for the post.
