Q: I've heard all these people talking about how side chaining is awesome but quick question: What the fuck is side chaining?
A: it's like when you use one thing to control another. one example i've heard of is using the volume of the vocal to control the reverb. so when the vocal is singing, the reverb is less. and then the reverb kicks in during the spaces. i think this is a common way to use it, which i should try doing but i haven't tried it yet. i tend to do that stuff manually
