How to set up sidechain compression in your DAW for pumping bass and pads. Covers threshold, ratio, attack and release settings.
Key frequency ranges: Sub bass 20-60Hz, Bass 60-250Hz, Low mids 250-500Hz, Mids 500Hz-2kHz, Presence 2-5kHz, Brilliance 5-20kHz.
Keep your channels peaking around -6dB to -12dB before the master bus. This leaves headroom for mixing and mastering.
Standard chain: High-pass filter at 80Hz, subtractive EQ, compression (3-6dB gain reduction), additive EQ, de-esser, reverb/delay sends.
Tune your 808 to the track key. Use a soft clipper instead of a limiter. Cut below 30Hz. Layer with a short kick for transient punch.
