Side chaining and multiband compression.
These are couple of the biggest buzzword terms in production these days, but what are they and how do you use them?
I sifted through a bunch of tutorials and put together some of the best ones on the most popular platforms Cubase, Reason, Nuendo, & Logic, and posted them on my blog hope this info is useful to you guys...

肝癌治疗病因及风险因素
病毒性肝炎与治疗肝癌：
病毒性肝炎与肝癌有关系的已涉及乙型（ HBV ）、丙型（ HCV ）与丁型（ HDV ） 3 种。尽管 HBV与肝癌的关系已研究多年，目前仍仅是一些线索提示其与肝癌关系密切。如发现 HBV 变种，尤其我国肝癌高发区发现一些不寻常的 HBV变种；另外发现 HBV 的 X 基因与癌变有关；土拨鼠研究提示 HBV 在致肝癌中起直接作用；又发现 HBV-DNA 的整合与
N-ras 癌基因的激活有关，等等。
黄曲霉毒素与其他因素
自从 60年代发现黄曲霉毒素以来，已一再在动物实验中证实黄曲霉毒素可诱发肝癌，但黄曲霉毒素与人类肝癌的关系主要来自流行病学的证据。我国资料曾一再提示肝癌高发于潮湿地带，尤其是食用玉米、花生多的地区。值得重视的是不少资料提示黄曲霉毒素与
HBV 有协同作用。
饮水污染与肝癌
我国通过大量流行病学调查已一再发现饮水污染与晚期肝癌的发生密切相关。在肝癌高发区如江苏省启东县和海门县、上海的南汇县、广西的扶绥县等均提示饮用宅沟水、塘水者其肝癌死亡率明显高于饮用井水者，尤其饮用深井水者肝癌死亡率最低。至于水中的致癌物质，目前尚未完全弄清。近年由于水质分析技术的进步，已发现水中有百余种有机物为致癌、促癌和致突变物。饮水中的有机致癌物有：六氯苯、苯并芘、多氯联苯、氯仿、二溴乙烷、二溴乙烯等。

肝癌晚期分子生物学研究
肝癌的分子生物学研究是近年迅速发展起来的一个崭新领域，它对肝癌的发生、发展及其与乙型肝炎病毒的关系等提供了新的材料，目前研究较多的为肝癌的癌基因、抑癌基因以及与HBV的关系方面。
互相制约的原癌基因和抑癌基因的细胞增殖、分化、组织再生和个体发育所须的。癌症是由于病毒或化学致癌物的作用使原癌基因激活成为癌基因，以及抗癌基因失活，引起细胞生长失控而形成。癌基因基因与抑癌基因并非一成不变，在一定条件下，癌基因可起抑癌基因的作用，而抑癌基因亦可起癌基因的作用。肝癌是多因素、多阶段形成的，因此可能有多个癌基因在不同时期的激活。

I can't be arsed to write a whole load of stuff as there's loads of info dotted about, but in a nutshell:

Multiband compression is a method of splitting the main frequencies (like the sub from the lower mids for instance) & then being able to adjust the dynamics for each band separately. Useful for avoiding the "pumping" effect from say a heavy sub bass, can also be used as a very "balanced" spectral adjuster.

Side Chaining is basically splitting an incoming signal into a compresor/gate so the comp/gate works off a different signal than what you actually hear. Can be used for NUFF different creative applications.

Hope this helps! Both these techniques are well worth learning.

Big ups to everyone who's been taking the time to compile info for everyone. I'm getting some pre-mastering advice ready for my site, so when it's up i'll put a link up too, hope you'll find it useful. Wicked to see so many hungry producers on the site!

this one is easier to follow then the actual tutorial from Ableton site on youtube.

they're techniques you shouldn't mess with until you have some mixing/mastering skills under your belt

sidechaining is a-ok to mess with. multiband anything i'd stay away from.

yea sidechain is good for getting bass to pump or pumping kicks

Personally, multiband compression is just the hard way to get a good end result. Choice of sample source and tuning your instruments well will save the trouble of wondering how working your way around multicompression.

as to sidechaining... I can see the point with certain elements (bass + kick), but mostly I think its a house thing.

I rate sidechaining and multiband compression as two of the most difficult areas of music production to master. Thats why I usually dont use them and try to work my way around to get the desired result.

Side chaining if used in a creative way can add another dimension to a piece of music, if it's used sparingly, if overcooked it turns a tune into a bloody mush.

arggh im going nuts on this, stop talking about sidechaining like sidechain compression is the only thing you can do whit it,
you can sidechain anything!

you can sidechain reverbs to your hats. your wobbles to your lfo's or whatnot,
realy you can do anything, its just using an audio signal as trigger for something else,
and its FUN! and not very complicated at all,

search for vst peak controller and start having some fun,
