Well, as long as this tutorial is helpful for anybody – even 5 years after publishing – I'll keep on answering questions! :-)

I hope my reply answered your questions, btw?
In case you have any more questions, drop me a line!

Thanks for your comments, danwpc,

Cheers,
Dan

P.S.: You can also download the template (logic project) I made for this tutorial. (I shared a link in one of the previous comments). So you can take a closer look at my settings or use it as a starting point for your own productions.

Hey danwpc!

You can, of course, use the first kick only to trigger the compressor of the bass-loop, but using a 2nd, dedicated (and continuous) kick on a bus-channel has a couple benefits.

First of all, one could use that single Side-Chain-Input-BUS to trigger multiple compressors on multiple (bus/sub-)channels. For example, I usually route multiple channels to sub-channels (basses, strings/pads, percussions, etc.) and use the same kick drum ("SC input") to trigger a compressor on each of those sub-channels.
In addition, using a 2nd (continuous) kick drum for SC-input, keeps the compressor active (pumping, in this case) even if the main kick drum is muted/not triggered – like in breaks/intros/outros/etc. – but you still want the compression/pumping on your other tracks/channels.

I tried to outline this in the intro of this tutorial: "Using that extra kick for the bass compression instead of the main kick keeps the compression on the bass line if the main kick isn’t playing, say in the intro, break, etc."

I hope this makes any sense! :-)
Drop me a line if you have any more questions.

Cheers and happy sidechaining,
Dan

Hey Tom!

That's strange. What happens when you put your sub track and the track triggering the related compressor on solo?

Even though you found already a way to bounce your bass track, here's a link to the original Logic Pro-Project File I used in the Tutorial, so you can take a closer look at my settings:

I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful – Thanks for the kind words Tom and keep that bass pumping,
Cheers,
Dan

Hi!

Have you used two kickdrums like I did in my tutorial? (One "turned down" for the sidechain input and one "main" you use in the mix)

If so, you probably just muted the wrong kickdrum.

Let me know if this solves the problem.

Cheers,
Dan
