Mixing with: Side chain Emphasis! How to adjust what a compressor reacts to.

Usually, when you put a compressor on a track, the compressor “looks” at all of the audio going into it to determine what is over the threshold, and starts compressing from there.

By using the side chain input, you can alter what the compressor is reacting to! Usually, when talking about side chaining, you are having a compressor triggered by something else, like a bass triggered by the kick. There’s nothing saying you can’t tone shape a compressor’s side chain input with a copy of the audio to be compressed!

This video shows how to add some emphasis to the input circuit of the stock compressor to have it react differently, and more effectively to the source audio!
