Why just not use the Peak Controller in FL?

U can link any button u want on the plugin to the Peak on peak controller.. Just use a Kick or something to control the sidechaining.

Hard to explain in English.. sorry for the bad explination.
but if you don't understand. just ask me, and i can make some screenshots!

FruityLoops sidechain compression

1. Choose an instrument you want to use as sidechain "trigger" (the sound giving the compressor the command to jump in) a 4/4 kick for example and link it to an FX-channel. First of all you have to mute this FX -channel (do this by pulling down the volume fader, in the mixer, all the way).

2. Next you have to add a "fruity peak controller" to it... that's all you have to do to set up the "trigger".

3. Then link the sound you want to be sidechained to another FX- Channel and add the "fruity compressor (or any other compressor of your choice) to it, right click the "threshold" knob and select "Link to controller".

4. After you've done this a window pops up giving you the ability to choose between which controller to use. Click on the internal controller window and select "Peak+Lfo" and click "accept"... now you're set
You can only apply one device per "peak controller"

I wish it was as easy in Cubase as it is in fruity, Its such a faf to get it right in SX!!

Started using a compressor recently, worked fine for me the reduce the noise and give the mix some more power. Had to pay attention for clipping though...

Whoever said u need to use only one peak controller per sidechain is wrong - all u need to do is untick 'remove conflicts' and u can link as many faders as u want to the Peak CNtrller.

The TC Works Native bundle has a faster and better sidechainer, but mine has a bug so I just use the PC. Kjaheus Audio Uni Pressor is also good for SCing
