how to sidechain using Battery

hobbah72

I want to set up mastering the mix fuser on a bass track in Logic and sidechain the kick in Battery, what’s the best way to do this as I can only see battery 4 as a sidechain option and not the kick separately, do I need to set up an aux track for the kick and sidechain the aux track in fuser?

I already have the kick on an aux track which is sidechaining the bass through a compressor

You need to activate all Battery outputs in your DAW first and then use only the Kick output for sidechaining.

How do I activate all the Battery outputs?

Thanks for all that, I have already routed everything, what I meant in my original post is the individual kick track in battery doesn’t show in the fuser plugin sidechain options, only Battery itself, so should I just send the kick to an aux and put Fuser on the aux track?

If it works for you, sure you can!

Many times, if we don't know exactly what to do, we use the "trial and error" method. Until we find the best solution for us. If something doesn't work as we want, we simply exit the project without saving and try again. :-)

If i had that Fuser plugin i might be able to help more, but i don't have it.
