Pro Tip - Side-chain Compression & Making Things Stand-out!
Sidechain is a quick and easy tool that helps certain elements stand out in a mix.
This track is a great example — the lead, along with many other elements, is sidechained to the kick drum.
At its core, sidechaining lets a source (in this case, the kick) control how much gain reduction is applied to another track.
When the kick hits, the lead gets turned down just enough to let the kick cut through — no need to manually adjust any volumes in the mix.
