Side Chain in FL Studio

http://soundcloud.com/alphapup/nosaj-thing-coat-of-arms

1)
Make a desirable drum beat.



2)
Duplicate the kick drum (or whatever desired beat you would like to have side chained).



3)
Take the side chaining channel and lick it to any empty insert.


Now you should have insert 1 occupied by Kick2 (which will become the sidechain).

4)
On the occupied insert, apply the effect "Fruity peak controller".



This should open up a little box entitled peak controller, ignore it for now.

5)
Next, pick and select whatever channel(s) you would like to have the side chain applied to.



6)
Apply those channels to an empty insert, much like the side chain. Make sure they are not occupying the same insert as the side chain.



Now you should have an insert for your sidechain beat, and an insert for what you want that side chain to be applied to!

7)
After you've done this all, right click the volume control on the insert containing your stuff you want side chained and click "link to controller".



8)
A box should open. In this interface, click "(none)" then click "peak", NOT "peak+LFO" or "LFO".



9)
Click "mapping formula" and click "inverted" then just click accept!



10)
Now that you've done all this, It should look like below. Now go back to your peak controller from your side chaining insert.



Vol is basically how low you want the synthesizer/bassline/white noise to go. If volume is all the way up on the peak controller, the synthesizer/bassline/white noise goes all the way down.
dec this is basically how quick you want the synthesizer/bassline/white noise to go back up to full volume.
Bass Exactly what it says, control the opposing side of the treble.

You don't even really need to worry about the LFO's right now, the three top knobs are most important, mainly volume and dec.

------------------------------

Now when you press play, you can hear that wherever you put a beat in the side chain channel, the volume of the synthesizers go down and up, just like you set up. You can see the volume taking action in the mixer.

Good luck!
