Do this by clicking the “ Bus FX” button on Bus A and selecting the Sidechain Comp Mono VST in your 3rd party plug-ins list. Now that we’ve created a new bus for our project we need to assign the SSS Slide Chain Compressor to it. The new bus appears next to the master bus and is labelled “ Bus A” Click the “ insert bus” button in the mixer window. Now we need to create a bus in the Acid Pro Mixer window. I’ll discuss the purpose of the 3rd track (a drumloop) later in the tutorial Add two tracks to your project Ī pad or lead instrument (this track will later be the receiver)Īnd a short kick or short percussive sound (this track will become the carrier or modulator) I used the SSS Side Chain Compressor which you can download here for free: Īfter you have downloaded and extracted the SSS compressor to your VST(i) folder, run Acid Pro and start a new project. So, what do we do when we encounter such a problem? We improvise and emulate! In this tutorial, I will show you how to create the Ducking effect in Acid Pro by emulating the Sidechain process.įirstly, you will need a Sidechain compressor VST. As an Acid Pro user, I found it a difficult task finding tutorials and methods to achieve this effect, with many producers claiming that it is simply impossible due to Acid Pro’s lack of built in Sidechaining facilities. Ducking or Breathing is a very prominent sound in almost every form of electronic dance music today.
