the sidechaining issue is comng back again!
as i use linux, i dont wanna mess with vsts because its already hard to use renoise alone (my laptop is more than 10 years old…) but i came to an idea recently :
my idea is to compress ‘send’ channels and re-send them into other ‘sends’ for further compression.
by putting several channels into somewhat like a queue of compressors, where some are coming earlier than others, i suppose i create a compression chain, therefore what has been called sidechaining, no?
for instance, if i send hihats+drums into a send channel and compress it, then send this into send2 alongside a bass hit, and compress everything as one. you see what i mean?
i suppose its basic-basic chaining…but can it be effective or am i completely smashed?
