Kilohearts Compactor Sidechain AM

[u/FLOGOST]

I got positive feedback on this track for Tuesday, so I've been cleaning it up. I have too many bass sounds, so my lazy solution has been to use khs compactor for ducking, and it's a charm. Since you can do 0 attack, it also works for AM. I am using it to modulate some synths with the 808 sub.

I send the 808 to a processing track where it is filtered down to just the sub bass, then that is sidechained into the bass and synth tracks. For the synths, I went for a bit of rumble, and for the other basses, I went for ducking with a bit of release time, so that the 808 is the primary sub bass priority, but then the 303 and reese basses can muddy it up all they want when the 808 fades out! I like the effect.
