Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how to create sidechain compression in Logic Pro? Or maybe you seek answers to the questions: what is the best compressor setting for sidechain compression? What is ghost kick sidechaining, or maybe just what is sidechaining? Then check out EP 155 of the Inside The Mix podcast.

Unlock the secrets of creating that signature pumping effect with my latest episode of Inside the Mix! I'm revealing a straightforward technique for crafting a ghost kick sidechain in Logic Pro. Learn how to transform a drum loop into MIDI to isolate the kick drum, leveraging the replace or double drum track function for precise control. I'll guide you step-by-step on setting up the ghost kick that will seamlessly duck your synth, ensuring a clean, interference-free mix.

But that’s not all – I'll also dive into the subtleties of sidechain compression to add dynamic flair to your tracks. Discover how tweaking threshold and ratio settings can drastically change the impact of your compression, starting from a preset threshold of minus 26 and experimenting with ratios between 20:1 and 30:1. Hear the nuanced differences with and without the compressor, and see how incorporating a bass loop can elevate your music to new heights. Don’t miss this episode packed with practical tips and hands-on techniques to elevate your music production skills!
