What I mean by adding flavour is adding another effect to the delay. So far, so good, but maybe we can add a little flavour to the delay effect? Actually, now that we don't have any concerns regarding the delay effect clashing with the dry signal and causing muddiness, we can add a lot of flavours if we like to. This is what I intended for this track in the first place.Īdd a Little (or a Lot of) Flavour to Your Sidechain Delay
When I compare this one with the plain delay version, the sidechain version sounds much clearer. Then, again to my surprise, I learned that sidechain compression and gating are used in music production too!Īfter discovering the beautiful world of sidechaining, it became an indispensable tool for me, even though it took some time to put it into practice properly.
There, to my surprise, I learned that ducking (for example, in a radio show when the presenter or the narrator speaks, the level of the background music is automatically lowered) is based on the application of sidechain compression. In 1993, I started working part-time for a major radio station.
Plus, I didn't think it was something useful. That sidechain thing seemed somewhat confusing. I remember seeing buttons or connectors labelled "SC" or "Sidechain" on some of the compressors when I first started learning about recording and audio technology back at the beginning of the '90s. In this article Ufuk Onen offers some ideas on how delays can be made more interesting without overpowering the sounds they are supposed to be reinforcing by using sidechained compression in combination with other plugins.
