Sidechaining the snare, to the kick.
« on: August 16, 2016, 02:12:57 pm »
Do you any of you sidechain the snare to the kick so that when the snare and kick hit at the same time, the snare is given a bit more definition than the kick?

No, that just means you should practice better EQ.

I always EQ my kick and snare in a 4x4 pattern (kick snare kick snare and kick kickandsnare kick kickandsnare)

the kick and snare part should sit well together, so that if you do have a pattern where the kick and snare is on at the same time, the combination should sit well together.

Yea, to some extent you could use a side chain, but after experimenting i found that result wasn't going to be the way to move forward.

Sculpting with EQ, given a particular reference point, helps shape the sound at a particular moment in the song.
