A 'sidechain' is a way of routing an effect.
"Call on me" is a tune done by eric prydz, he uses a bass drum to offset what ever instrument he wants through his sidechain meaning he creates a wah wah on his vocal, or steve winwoods Valerie (the remix)!!
OK i will you logic 8 for the tutorial but you can work in any program you like after you understand the basic.
1 - open 2 audio chancels for kick and bass
2 - open logic compressor on the bass channel
3 - in the sidechain option in the compressor select the kick chanel (audio1)
play with the trashhold and the ratio !
this is the most basic side chain tutorial
i add some videos to help you understand !
