What is Sidechain Compression?

Sidechain compression is a powerful audio processing technique where the volume of one sound source is dynamically controlled by the amplitude of another. In simpler terms, it allows you to create that iconic “pumping” effect, commonly heard in electronic dance music, by automatically lowering the volume of one track when another track (usually the kick drum) hits.

For example, in a dance track, sidechain compression can subtly duck the volume of the bassline every time the kick drum hits, creating a rhythmic breathing effect that enhances the groove and energy of the entire mix.
