Use low shelf filter (if you are using the default preset of PEQ2, low shelf filter is the band 1). Now, in the PEQ2, set the frequency value. In that case – assuming you have assigned kick and bass each to their own Mixer tracks – drop a Fruity Peak Controller to the kick drum’s effect slot and Fruity Parametric EQ 2 (or your favourite EQ plugin) to the bass sound effect slot. Let’s assume that you want your kick drum to be the sound that will trigger the sidechain effect on your bass sound. But when you set the sidechain to be active – i.e – in the lower frequency range, only the low end will “duck” and the rest of the frequencies stays intact. Let’s say you have a bass sound covering a wide frequency range and you sidechain it to your kick in a traditional way: the whole bass sound will pump when the kick hits (depending on your compressor settings of course). What’s the benefit of sidechaining only a portion of the frequency range? Less pumpy music while still getting the advantage that the lower frequencies of bassy sounds aren’t clashing with the bass of the kick (though this isn’t a benefit if you WANT your music to pump). Everybody probably knows how to sidechain “pump” bass, lead, pad, and everything, but what if you want to sidechain only some specific frequency range – i.e low frequencies? In this tutorial, I will show you how.
