Learn how to create that EDM Pumping Effect in Pro Tools. Side-chaining and sidechain compression is a technique that lets you use an external signal to trigger dynamics, EQ, or other effects on a track. Examples include compressing a bass to cut through each time the kick drum hits which creates that classic EDM pumping effect, to auto-ducking a music bed that interferes with spoken dialogue.
There are several methods used in Creating Side-Chain Effects. If you have an older version of Pro Tools, please visit our tutorial: SIDECHAIN COMPRESSION MADE EASY to follow the written steps. If you are using a new version of Pro Tools such as 2021.6 and above, Pro Tools will apply the correct amount of delay compensation when side-chaining tracks to keep the timing in perfect sync-”a feature previously only available for Pro Tools | HDX.
