I would like to trigger a LFO which controls a “ducking” gainer. The LFO is triggered by the kick, so a normal sidechain ducking. But now I would like to trigger the LFO one note earlier, but still by the kick. Is there a way to achieve this, without using ghost notes? Maybe some math device, looking one line ahead? Thanks.
to sidechain a bassdrum, I set up an extra layered sample for it…and route it to an extra channel…the channel will be inaudible, but there will be a signal follower for the sidechain in it…this way whole drumkit can sound in one channel, but signal follower will only react to the kick…the sample can be crafted and fine tuned to the desired response, as it is inaudible only the envelope matters, not how it would sound like. because of the layering it won’t work with round robin/random sample instruments though, this is a drawback. the lookahead can be achieved with track delay or in the signal follower (or both). another upside is the possibility to use multiple signal followers on that track, with different lookahead and attack/decay responses depending on the desired response of the ducked instrument.
