Only sidechain compression on sounds from reverb effect.

im a beginner user but I have an idea that wanting to sidechain compress sounds coming from only through reverb, not the original sounds....


I use the piano and reverb effect and want to sidechain compress the reverbed piano by the other bass beats.

but the original Piano is bypassed.


please any tips will help.


thank you !

Ok, you want to side chain compress the reverb only. In this case you'll have set up a send to an aux channel with the reverb on.

On that reverb aux channel have a compressor before the reverb, and side chain that to the bass or whatever you want to use.

In this screenshot there is a send from the piano track to the reverb. The compressor on the reverb track receives side chain input from the bass track (audio 1)...You'll have to play around a bit with Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release to get the effect you want. Hope I understood your question!
