its a surtoff compression.. only RLY massive. Do you know the track satisfaction? that house track. big nasty saw bassline... but its sidechained cause when the kick punchs the bassline goes to the background....

thats the effect of a sidechain compression. if you put a sidechain on a kick and a bassline you can say : the kick has to press the bassline away when it punches OR the kick goes away when the bassline starts.

it makes space for the instrument who also has a sidechain

side chaing mang

this is a helpful technique if you use a vst host application (logic, nuendo, ableton, cubase, etc....)

1. start a new project and create 3 tracks - a kick drum, a subbass and a STEREO group channel

2. Insert the Waves C1 sc into the stereo group

3. pan the kick hard left and the bass hard right

4. route the kick and the bass channel to the stereo group

5. open the Waves C1 sc, and set KEY Mode to L>R
now the kick is "gone", your bass should only play on the right side.

6. to bring your bass back to the center open the mixer and RIGHT-CLICK on the PAN fader of the STEREO GROUP.
there are three options, one gets the desired result (and i forgot which one ). you'll see two panning faders there, just put them BOTH to the center. just try until you find the right option, if you get this working the hard part is done.

7. open the Waves C1 sc and lower the treshhold to -30db.

8. pull up the ratio and see how the gain reduction meter starts pumping to the 4x4 groove of your kick. you're almost there.

9. but now you wanna hear your kick again, right? create a new mono group, then go to your kick channel and SEND it to this group.
That's it!
