FL Studio Guru | Sidechaining with Gross Beat Video Lecture | FL Studio: Become an Expert (English) - Video & Sound Editing

in this video we'll look at
side-chaining with gross beat as an
alternative to compressors and we'll see
why it can be a better choice
particularly for rhythmic sidechain
duties rhythmic side training can be
used to help a kick cut through the mix
or to create a rhythmic effect like the
syncopation first let's remind ourselves
how a compressor sidechain works in FL
studio and we'll see why the technique
can cause frustration to create a
sidechain select the sidechain source
track here it's a kick and then
right-click the destination track and
select sidechain to this track now we
have hidden sidechain audio passing to
the destination track then from a
sidechain compatible plug-in like fruity
limiter or go to the compressor section
right-click the sidechain input and
select the kick sidechain source so
let's start with the compression
bypassed and I'll switch it on so we can
hear the difference

it's certainly side-chaining but it can
be frustrating to get just the right
feeling or bounce as some people call it
we have the attack release threshold
compression and some other controls that
all need tweaking to get just the result
we want for example
[Music]
[Music]
we definitely have some control here but
often it requires a lot of trial and
error and even then you may not get
exactly what you're after and this is
where grosbeak can save you a lot of
time for side-chaining we're interested
in the lower volume envelope section and
there's even a sidechain preset let's
start with that I'll also change the mix
of u2 waveform so we can see the effect
more clearly
[Music]
the advantage of gross feet is that it
gives you complete control over the side
chain in inverted commas envelope for
example I'll change these two double
curves to let through the second half of
each B this will give a more syncopated
feel if I want more cut on the attack I
can just drag down the points here
[Music]
[Music]
and that's the payoff from gross beat
you can get fully creative and scope any
feel you like with just a few envelope
tweaks and don't forget there are some
other very creative effects for example
the drum loop here envelopes like this
are easily created from any drum loop
just drag and drop a drum loop wav file
onto the window in summary for basic and
advanced side-chaining grouse beat is an
awesome tool if you'd like the project
used here the link is in the video
description until next time enjoy gross
feet for side-chaining
