With this sort of sound, you typically want the pumping effect from your sidechain compression to have fairly precise timing. Usually, you want the suppression of the signal to end right around the start of the next beat. Where it lands affects the groove, so a little early can sound forward moving and frenetic while a little late can sound powerful and relaxed. Too early, though, and it just sounds out of rhythm.
It doesn't really matter if you automate volume or if you use a compressor, the important part is the rhythm and its effect of overall impression. It currently sounds a little long for a simple duck but a little short for a pumping effect.
Yeah, that's fair.
I was mostly focused on the sound design and sort of half assed the sidechaining.
I usually try to have the sidechaining be around the length of an eight note, and have the synths swell on the offbeat.
It all depends on the kick tbh
Omg! Thanks for checking it out.
I've been dealing with depression and making music helps. It means a lot when people listen to my music and offer feedback :)
