ngnt Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 So I'm trying to pull off the sidechain compressed synth bass tracks on my bands newer recordings we are finishing up and I figured the easiest way to do it was to trigger the sidechain with a seperate instrument in mainstage. I have my m-audio keyboard split so the lowest two keys trigger the sidechain and the rest of the keys are the synth bass sound getting compressed. My issue is that whenever I hit the keys to trigger the compression I get a popping sound and I can't figure out where it is coming from. The channel strip for the trigger is set to have no output and so is the bus it's on so I don't really know where to look. Ive tried hitting the triggering keys before I hit what's going to be the audible note to make sure it isn't the attack that is giving me the popping and I still hear it. Regardless of whether there is a note being compressed or not, whenever I hit one of the two triggering keys I get a pop. Does anyone have any idea where I should start in the troubleshooting here?

Atlas007 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Just a hunch: have you tried assigning (also) notes to these two keys with velocity set to zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
