Studio One 4.5 Sidechain
Dec 12, 2013 When you start getting deeper into production, you may wish to introduce dynamics into the mix. A great way to do this is to incorporate sidechain techniques to provide some pumping and ducking effects. This can really open up your mix so that you can hear all the elements. Let’s take a look at how this is done in PreSonus Studio One. New in Studio One 4.5. The Studio One 4.5 update’s top focus is on what is arguably Studio One’s greatest feature—you! Our core value during the 4.5 development phase was simple: give users more of what they want. And thanks to the impassioned crew over at answers.presonus.com, we had a robust customer-curated roadmap to work from. A Subreddit for Users of Studio One r/StudioOne is an educational tool. Please post anything related to Studio One; compatible hardware and software, synths, VSTs, controllers, etc. Questions about effects, getting a certain sound, troubleshooting, general or specific production questions and the like are welcome.
| Hi, I hope someone can help me; I'm a simple soul who has just bought Neutron 2 and am trying to use the dynamic EQ masking features which require a sidechain but I could not get it going. So I went back to basics and tried to do a sidechain with the Presonus stock compressor and cannot get that working either..... All I'm doing to test it is:- Track One = Kick drum, played on a loop Track Two = Bassline. Put the Presonus compressor on this track as an insert and select the yellow 'sidechain' button. Then go to the 'send' on Track One (the kick) and tell it to send to the compressor. Crank the send level. According to every single Youtube video I watch, that's all there is to it and yet it does not work for me. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I'm now presuming that the issue with Neutron 2 is not actually a Neutron 2 issue as indeed I cannot do the simple stuff with the Presonus stock. If anyone can point me in the right direction here that would be great. I'm 99% sure I've had this working a year or so back but it's just not interested right now. Thank you Gary |

| Gary, If you have properly setup your receiving plug to sidechain and you have created a Send to it from your other plug, try changing the Threshold in the compressor until you can see it being activated. Sometimes if the threshold is too low, you won't see anything! Bbd Please add your specs to your SIGNATURE. Search the STUDIO ONE 4 ONLINE MANUAL. Access your MY.PRESONUS account.

| I'm having a sidechaining issue as well and it's driving me nuts. I followed all of the simple instructions and no compressors are receiving the sidechain signal at all. I've done some searching online and I've come to the point where I believe it's a bug. Is anyone else experiencing this where the sidechain signal is not triggering the plugin you're sending it to?

| Hi... You don't necessarily need to use sidechaining with Neutron 2 to utilise the dynamic EQ. For instance, if I want the kick to mask certain bass frequencies I put an instance of Neutron EQ (no need for the full plugin) on the kick and label it 'kick' (no prizes for stating the obvious) then put an instance of Neutron on the bass. Using the bass instance in the EQ pane I click on masking and invoke the 'kick' Neutron insert, adjust the sensitivity to see where the interaction occurs between competing frequencies and then place an EQ node to span the interacting frequencies with a bell cut. Still with the same node active go in to the dynamic section (bottom right - doesn't show by default) and engage dynamic mode making the required adjustments for threshold etc... As a result the bass EQ will cut dynamically at the required frequencies impeding less on the kick. Not exactly what you're looking for but in the absence of side-chaining it helps. Regards....

| Apologies, I should clarify. I'm not having issues with Neutron like the OP. But it seemed like the OP also had problems with his sidechaining outside of Neutron. Ironically, my Neutron 2 is working fine, but my sidechaining in S1 isn't working at all which is very odd. Thanks for the reply.

| When you insert the compressor plugin (on the bass track) you need to do these things: 1 Click on the Sidechain button right up the top to the right of the presets window. It should turn Blue 2 Look down below in the compressor in the Sidechain area. It too should also say External Sidechain in Blue 3 On the compressor there is level control for side chain to the left of the gain control. It may default to 0 dB. As well as sending the signal from the source track (i.e. kick in this case) you may need to turn this rotary side chain control up more so to see the kick signal in fact acting on the bass track. You will see it in the form of gain reduction taking place on the bass track in time with the kick drum. For effective ducking too you don't need huge amounts of gain reduction either for this to be effective. A ratio of 2:1 might be good. Fast attack as well so it acts quickly on the bass sounds. Fast release too so it lets go pretty quick as well letting the rest of the bass sound to come through. Set the threshold so the GR on the bass track is only 2 to 3 dB. It all works here so there is nothing wrong with the setup. I am happy to make a short video on it as well if you are still having problems. Please add your specs to your SIGNATURE.

| Original post and initial responses do not show up when I visit this thread. Only the very last 2 posts show up. When I visit to OP's profile, I can see part of the original question, but not the whole thing. Accessing this thread from there also has the same result...only the last 2 posts show.

| Hello guys! I'm running Studio Ver.4 and I'm experiencing the same problems with side chaining. It only works on Buffer size 512 and above. It's not working with anything less than 512. Is there's any solution with this? Thanks. |
| I had a different problem. My side-chain would not work with neutron 3 no matter how i configured it or changed my settings. The only way i got it to work was to not use the vst version but a version with a ## on the plugin. Then instead of sending the sound from say a kick to the bass to duck it i had to send it backwards (from bass to kick using the plugin wrapper side-chain option. This is super weird and i have no idea why it works this way. I also couldn't get it to work if i manually set the side-chain from the channel strip either it had to be from the plugin wrapper. |
| I was running into the same issue and none of the above solutions worked for me. It turns out that I had to turn the Monitor Button off for the bass track that hosted the compressor. I found the answer here: https://answers.presonus.com/19411/sidechain-is-bug Hope it helps! |
