Default Re: Side-Chain u Cubase SX3

evo nekoliko objasnjenja koristeci waves c1 i voxengo crunchessor.
verujem da ce ti ovo drugo pomoci..

c1:
Quote:
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!

1. Enable sidechaining in Crunchessor.

2. Add a group track and set to Quadro (4.0).

3. Route both track and control sources to the group.

4. Use the surround panners to set the track source to front middle and the control source to rear middle.

5. If you need output from your control source at the main bus, simply add a send and enable it. You have to do it this way because I don't think you have pan control on sends in Nuendo which means the only way to control pan from the audio and control sources is to use their main outputs into the 4 channel group.

6. Tweak the settings in Crunchessor and you should be getting side chaining.

Detailed description of "True Stereo Side-Chaining" with
Voxengo Crunchessor in CubaseSX (tested in SX2.2.039):
================================================== ========
The following example will use a kick drum track to duck/compress a bass line track:
1) Create a Quadro group (L,R,LS,RS).
2) Route the bass track to the Quadro group.
a) Open the SurroundPan window in the bass track by double-click on the pan-view in the mixer.
b) Here you must set the Mode Mo./St to Y-Mirror (By default it is set to Mono-Mix).
c) Set the grey panning balls in the SurroundPan window to 100% left and right
and pan it to L/R. This means the L-ball sits at top-left, the R-ball sits
at top-right in the SurroundPan view.
3) Route a send-slot of the kick track to the Quadro group.
(Of course you can route the kick track directly to the Quadro group,
but you won't hear the kick drum at the stereo output bus in this case)
a) Set Pre-Fader switch to ON (the "at" symbol).
(It is necessary to retain the control over the volume slider for the kick track)
b) Set the Send-Amount slider to 0 (CTRL left click on the slider).
c) Change the view of the send-slot to "Routing" (little window above the send slots).
d) Open the SurroundPan window by double-click the (now visible) pan-view in the send slot.
e) Do the same as in 2b)
f) Set the grey panning balls in the SurroundPan window to 100% left and right
and pan it to LS/RS. This means the L-ball sits at bottom-left, the R-ball sits
at bottom-right in the SurroundPan view.
4) Insert crunchessor in an insert-slot of the Quadro group
5) Activate Side-Chain in Crunchessor
6) Start with the preset "Club is pumping" (or pull the Drive-knob to maximum)
in Crunchessor to see/hear the effect.
Leave the Crunchessor window open to see the effect via the gain reduction meter:
When the kick drum sets in, the bass track will be ducked/compressed according to the
compressor settings applied to the plug-in.

You can do this the same way with 2 mono tracks, although I think you could leave
the Mode Mo./St in the SurroundPan views to "Mono-Mix". Experiment a bit !

Addition: There's also another "quick" way to do side-chaining with Quadro Output-Bus instead of Quadro-Group:
1) Define a new Quadro Output-Bus and there 2 child/sub-busses ("Stereo" and "Stereo (Rs Ls)").
2) Route Bass track to "Stereo" and Kick track to "Stereo (Rs Ls)".
3) Insert Crunchessor in the Quadro bus.
You don't have to fiddle with Pan-Settings with this method but has its disadvantage in SX2
that you don't have further routing possibilities with the Quadro bus.
In SX3 you can define child/sub-busses also for groups (problem solved here).
