    Hi,
    I know... everyone try to use it in FL Studio (wasting time, often) but, finally, here it is:



    It works (I'm using it in FL Studio 10). Hope it helps. *yes*

    P.S.
    If you need more, download the video + flp files here

    No, of course. FL Studio 10's users (like me) can use it if they own GrossBeat. *yes*

    that is because it is not exactly side-chaining, cause there is no side channel inserted to the chain,
    the only thing it does is creating a volume envelope simply by dragging a drum loop on top of gross beat, and that is not side-chaining
    but it can sound the same :bleh:, still some useful info for people who didn't know this, thnx thantrax!

    I wouldn't consider this as sidechaining, this is more volume automation/gating.
    Also this is really only useful for short repetitive kick patterns.

    theirs a better and a way more efficient way its called the fruity limiter with a low threshold and a long attack and release and set your kick to it (sidechain to this track only) assighn the compressor to thick kick, and route everything you want to be sidechaind to that channel.

    I suggest you to post a tutorial about it and a flp example file. It would be nice. :grooves:

    for me the best way to do this in fl studio is with the peak controller binded to a fader
