Folks it just goes to show that PLP loops are timeless. This week I simply took ten bass loops from PLP Electrofied and applied the popular “Ducking” compression effect that you hear in all of the most recent Electro House tunes. Ducking is achieved by side chaining with a compressor. The most popular result of this effect is done by using a kick drum and a bassline. Ducking and side chaining are nothing new. This technique has been used in recordings for decades. Most of the time it is very subtle but a more exaggerated version of this effect has recently become more popular in Dance music. Benny Benassi was one of the first producers to use this effect in such a way to get that pumping off beat bass effect. Now artists like Deadmau5 and John Dahlback have brought it to another level. Software has made side chaining very quick and east to acheive. I used Cubase for this but you can also do this in Logic, Fruity Loops, and Protools with little effort. Let me know if you’d like to find out how to set up a side chaining scenario with your DAW and I’ll do my best to get you going.

I had to get on this blogging sooner or later (more later than sooner – LOL).  Props go out to my boy Dj Montra for hooking it up.
