can you explain your process on how to sidechain?
i know almost nothing about it, and i never touched it until very recently. i don't really know what you can do with it but so far i am just using it for reverb/delay on the vocal. you put a compressor on the rev/delay track, and side chain it to the lead vocal. this makes the reverb/delay get out of the way of the lead vocal at the moment it's being sung, and then the rev/delay comes in after. it clears things up because now you're not hearing the vocal and the reverb on top of each other
