Dub Techno Dawless Sidechain Compressor Tutorial with RNC 1773

I'm on day 3 of learning dub techno, and have created a small "jamtorial" (jam/tutorial) on using a RNC 1773 compressor to get that pumping sound that's typical for dub techno. The rest of the crew is my faithful Korg Monologue for bass, the MicroFreak for pads (looped by the EHX 720) and chord stabs, the Volca Drum for drums, and Zoom MS-70CDR and Source Audio Collider for effects. During the jam, I explain how I connect and program everything.

This is my 5th #Jamuary2022 jam. Check out the previous 2 jams for my first baby steps towards learning dub techno.

The audio is recorded to SD card on Zoon R-16 mixer/recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 17.
