😅 After reading a few comments, I realise that I should have talked a bit about why I sent the side-chain signal after (post) the drum compressor instead of before (pre) the drum compressor. You get a different side-chain signal depending on if you’re sending the signal pre or post the compressor. The thing is that I like sculpting the actual side-chain signal a bit with compression before I send it anywhere else. Also, sometimes I’ll over-compress the drums to get a specific type of over-compressed sound. When I do, I’d like the side chain to pick that up too, in order to get get a ducking that is consistent with the overall drum sound. So then It’s beneficial to set the side-chain signal send post the drum compressor.
Jakob, I would love it if you did more of this 'studio tips 'n' tricks' stuff. I'd consider becoming a patreon for it, in fact. You explain things really well.

I've just started getting into music production and kept thinking, "I know Side-Chaining is important... But what is it?!" And magic! You made a video about it AND used AUM + Figure (which I actually paid for BEFORE it was free!) Then got side-tracked with learning about Theory, Family, jobs, etc. I've always found your videos extremely useful and entertaining. Really did enjoy your awkward moments whenever you actually showed yourself on camera! Genuine laugh out loud moments for me! I'm personally interested in more of these production type videos and hoping others speak up and say, "YES! MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE PLEASE!" 10 minutes is a good amount of time investing into learning about a small important part of production! Keep it up, man! 🙌🙌🙌 Extremely helpful to beginners like myself. 👍👍
Thank you, Jakob, for this follow up on your 2016 video on side-chaining. I kept hearing the term "side-chaining" and knew I could count on you to provide the very patient and detailed and down-to-earth explanation you did. I promise to start chipping in after I get back on my feet!
Amazing update! It’s incredible how good AUM is. I am only quite sad that we still don’t have landscape mode on iPhone... it would make things far easier - having one single channel on the screen is quite limiting. Would have also been nice to be able to open AUv3 windows through the midi matrix - far easier and faster than scrolling when you have a large setup. Please upvote if you’re an iPhone user, we need this 😪
Also: props for 1) remembering window position and size - huge difference for iPhone workflow ! 2) midi gear connections being restored automatically! 🤯
Orafu Da yep, i agree it’s one of Ape’s best features - as a matter of fact I only switched to AUM after I updated my phone from 12.0.1 to 13.3 which completely destroyed my performance when running ApeMatrix... now it crashes with little more than 3-4 instances (I used to run over 14 wth Apple lol). Now I mostly use AUM but miss the good old features of ApeMatrix 😪
Wow, wow, wow! This and Bram Bos Scatterbrain all in one day - blowing my mind! Game changer indeed! (I need to sit down....) Thank you for a great tutorial...🙏
Super useful and easy! I personally would ask you to make more of that in-depth tips and tricks vids; your super clear and fun presentation makes it desirable to watch and inspiring! Thanks
Great job! Great news! Observation: instead of pulling up on the insert stem and tapping the the plus icon, you can just double tap the stem to add another insert. Some may find this a bit quicker and/or easier.
Don't be put off by low view numbers Jakob - I and a lot of others find your more detailed insights into various apps and FX are invaluable ... they show us how the sounds can be manipulated. And how AUM can now be used proper!!! How excellent. Many thanks for all your work and enthusiasm Jakob. Now - off to experiment.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea how to ask the question I wanted an answer to, and Paul Henry addressed me here through a Facebook thread I started on the matter.
I don't use AUM but I like the techniques your are using and the results you got! Very Cool! You have inspired me. Thank You Jakob! Keep up the great work.
Yah man!! Go on with video like that. Go in depth in the world of AUM technique and mostly important the AUv3 and (I would very like to have a video for every FabFilter Plugin)! Go Jakob, do thats you can. Have fun!
Bang on!!! Game Changer is exactly the right word. The quality of people's mixes will go from Amateur to pro overnight! Exciting times ahead! Cheers for the update Haq, and apparently Samplr's has got an UPDATE AS WELL!
Excellent video, please continue making instructional videos - you're style is very watchable and the content is needed ! (especially for an old relic like me!)
I work as an iOS developer BUT I make electronic music on my PC/Mac. I'm impressed with how much iOS music-making has improved! AUv3 Multi-Out Routing is the kind of thing that makes me want to check iOS again.
Yeah the multi-out is a welcome upgrade and I want to see it’s implementation standardised for AU hosts. I’m sure we’ll se loads of interesting new plugins that uses this in weird creative new ways. I’m also happy since I can now get closer to the kind of production workflow I used to have back when I was using desktop DAWs.
Sick, I literally got AUM two days ago and I was looking on how to do this, and found this. I went into AUM and the multi bus option didn't pop up, which left me puzzled. Went back to the vid and saw that it was from today and I literally got AUM one day before the update😂🤯 Sick stuff, bringing together my modular and loopy is one jolly combo:)
Great video as usual! Music tips videos from you would be awesome: knows the ”gear” deeply + has ability to explain things easily + musically creative himself, which means everything is directly relevant - You’re perfect person for it! :)
Jakob, thank you for this first video on the topic. I would very much like to watch a deep-dive tutorial on the matter and have you thought of setting up a special Patreon area for this type of material? I would be in
Much thanks Jakob. I am definitely interested into this type of iOS production. I dont know much about this so this video was very helpful to me. I know I would like to learn how to do this in my type of production.
Jakob Haq please make a video showing how you did this song with all the four instances of RoughRider3. I have no idea how or why you have this set up. Technical instruction videos may not be popular but at least do this one. This is the main demo track promoting this new feature.
Great stuff, and really instructive, Jakob! For my part I can say that I would love to see some more production tricks. Why wouldn't I? And why wouldn't anybody else, guys?
I would like to hear these setups while they are playing and inserting the fx plugins. if you could set it up and just slide them to the eject side it will disable it without removing it and you could slide them back into place while playing. It would be helpful to hear the differences side by side by toggling them in and out.
Roughly 6 days after video post and so far there are at least 32 comment posters that agree they’d watch your ‘tips’ etc vids! (That is not even including all the peeps in agreement within each of those posts replies!!) I too would most-definitely-absolutely watch any and all of those type videos if you were to create them.. What say you Jakob? ‘HooQ’ us up!!
The developers might be afraid that people will stop purchasing desktop versions and just work on the iPad and does desktop is where the good money is at for Fab filter
You can, since the previous version, just double tap to add another effects slot, and in the midi groupings double tap to add another midi effect/generator slot.
Hey dude did you ever make a follow up video on the post processing that you touched on at the end? I’d love a link if so! Thank you for this, really helped me tonight with the dawless techno setup.
That’s also an awesome track! I have to know how you made that bass line! That bass is just buttery smooth, warm, deep, fat and melodic. Oh man, how did you do it? 7:58 I should finish watching your video before commenting. 😅 🤣 “Oh, and if you were wondering how I made the music ...” Yes, I was! 😅 Darn, now I finally have to *register* an e-mail address with Figure. 😤 ... Go figure ... 🤨 That always held me back from using that program... Ah, but the registration for the Propellerhead Reason app works in Figure too. 🤷♂️ I had it all along, oh well. Also, why do you send the side chain audio out *after* it went through compression on track 1? I would send it out *before* the compression on track 1 is made. But I guess to get a smoother ducking effect, you want to compress the other tracks with the compressed drum track? Nice. :)
I should have talked a bit about the pre/post-compression side-chain thing, but yeah you guessed it right. I also do it for convenience. Sometimes I’ll over compress the drums to get a specific type of over-compressed sound. When I do, I’d like the side chain to pick that up too, in order to get get a ducking that is consistent with the overall drum sound.
Hey Jakob, not sure if you have already or not, but you could make a video about getting "production level" sound out of Drambo? Basically something that one can simply jam "live" and it will sound great without post-mixing/mastering. Cheers from Munich! Kristaps
Keep These video going Jakob, not all your watchers are Crack Babies, Pros and Bros moving into the Ipad revolution do watch your videos like these. Im enjoying this right now on the Deutsche Bahn, from Essen to Munich.
Another good vid mate, I appreciate all of the vids you put out, you work hard to make them informative & polished with a little bit of sillyness. I will be going back to view them all again. You should have at least 50-60k subscribers by now. People need to click like on these vids to keep this quality content coming. Maybe 10-15 minutes is about right to explain a new feature and another vid of 20 mins exploring possibilities, I don't know, I subscribe and like so I'm happy. I like short 10-15 min nuggets of new information to remember, longer than that is too much for my little brain then longer more involved vids that I plan on following along with one day 😀 Just keep doing what you're doing.....please
How is this different from having the compressor on the drum channel? What benefit does listening to the other channel get you? I don’t understand. Thanks for any help!
It is when you have, say, a bass line but you want it to be loud without interfering with the kick when they are both playing at the same time...so you "tell" the compressor on the bass channel to compress the bass whenever the kick is playing...this is a sidechain...so he sets up the compressor and then you see how he just keeps raising the threshold to get how much sidechain compression he gets on the lead (in this case)
That’s also an awesome track! I have to know how you made that bass line! That bass is just buttery smooth, warm, deep, fat and melodic. Oh man, how did you do it? I bet you did it with Uno Synth, am I right? :)

Please make more of these slowed down and detailed tutorials for us that aren’t as advanced as some of your other viewers. Thank you.
Thanks Jakob! I am also keen to see you do a deeper dive video into the extra sidechaining and production techniques you teased us with!!
I've just started getting into music production and kept thinking, "I know Side-Chaining is important... But what is it?!"

More production tips and tricks please Jakob. Cheers for a very concise and clear demo. Cheers. Lee
Thanks Jakob! I always return to your videos to re-learn how to do stuff. Your way of explaining things just makes sense to me.

+1 for opening AUv3s from the MIDI matrix ... but I’m on iPad 🤷♂️.
Btw, that’s what apematrix is good for! :P
Orafu Da yep, i agree it’s one of Ape’s best features - as a matter of fact I only switched to AUM after I updated my phone from 12.0.1 to 13.3 which completely destroyed my performance when running ApeMatrix... now it crashes with little more than 3-4 instances (I used to run over 14 wth Apple lol).
Now I mostly use AUM but miss the good old features of ApeMatrix 😪
I would definitely watch your production truck videos especially now that we have proper side chaining features.
Thank you Jakob. At last !
And yes- pls help us a bit with production tips and compression strategies:)
Wow, wow, wow! This and Bram Bos Scatterbrain all in one day - blowing my mind! Game changer indeed! (I need to sit down....)
Thank you for a great tutorial...🙏
Oh and a big ‘YES PLEASE’ to more production tips....😊 pretty please.....
Super useful and easy! I personally would ask you to make more of that in-depth tips and tricks vids; your super clear and fun presentation makes it desirable to watch and inspiring! Thanks
Great job! Great news! Observation: instead of pulling up on the insert stem and tapping the the plus icon, you can just double tap the stem to add another insert. Some may find this a bit quicker and/or easier.
😅 I’m so used to the drag up and tap for adding fx slots. I keep forgetting about the new double tap feature.
Don't be put off by low view numbers Jakob - I and a lot of others find your more detailed insights into various apps and FX are invaluable ... they show us how the sounds can be manipulated. And how AUM can now be used proper!!! How excellent.
Many thanks for all your work and enthusiasm Jakob. Now - off to experiment.
Aaah exactly what I was looking for. The music is also great. Thank you 🙏 YES! I’d love more content like this. Take care man 👍
AUM has and still is amazing.Great video showing the new features.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea how to ask the question I wanted an answer to, and Paul Henry addressed me here through a Facebook thread I started on the matter.

This is the news we've been waiting for, ever since Kymatica demonstrated sidechaining in their twitter. Tremendous.
Excellent video, please continue making instructional videos - you're style is very watchable and the content is needed ! (especially for an old relic like me!)
Please do do more of these, yes!
Great video! More production "tricks" videos? Yes, Please!!
Jakob! Great as always. Even more so. Really good explaining these things. Superb!
I work as an iOS developer BUT I make electronic music on my PC/Mac. I'm impressed with how much iOS music-making has improved! AUv3 Multi-Out Routing is the kind of thing that makes me want to check iOS again.
Btw, I think Figure is the first music-making app I ever used on iOS reaaaallly long ago (after Garageband I guess?)
Yeah the multi-out is a welcome upgrade and I want to see it’s implementation standardised for AU hosts. I’m sure we’ll se loads of interesting new plugins that uses this in weird creative new ways. I’m also happy since I can now get closer to the kind of production workflow I used to have back when I was using desktop DAWs.
Holy wow! I'm a baby/noob sound designer and know very little. I always wondered how EDM producers get this sound. Thanks for teaching us! 💞
I'd love it too if you did more of this 'studio tips 'n' tricks' stuff
EPIC!!!! @7:30 - Niiiiice Work!!! 🤗😁👊
There is definitely interest in more technique oriented tutorials. This was great. Reviews are great but knowledge is valuable
Great work, Jakob! 👍
all the AUM videos man, please, it's totally changed my production style.
Sick, I literally got AUM two days ago and I was looking on how to do this, and found this.
I went into AUM and the multi bus option didn't pop up, which left me puzzled. Went back to the vid and saw that it was from today and I literally got AUM one day before the update😂🤯
Sick stuff, bringing together my modular and loopy is one jolly combo:)
Hey Jakob!! Thanks for your videos!! Your enthusiasm about iOS music making is very contagious!!
That enthusiasm is much thanks to viewers like yourself too. 👊🏼
Thank you! It's really helpful tutorial and beautiful music!:)
Nicely explained Jakob.
Great, Jackob! Very usefull one, thanks a lot!
Great video. I am going to try this out. Very helpful, Jakob!
Thanks for this explanation! And really good sounding track!
Yes...please do an episode about your production tricks...!!!!!!!!!
Great video as usual! Music tips videos from you would be awesome: knows the ”gear” deeply + has ability to explain things easily + musically creative himself, which means everything is directly relevant - You’re perfect person for it! :)
Thanks as always man! Great tutorial
Jakob, thank you for this first video on the topic. I would very much like to watch a deep-dive tutorial on the matter and have you thought of setting up a special Patreon area for this type of material? I would be in
Yeah would dig some of these little tricks; nice stuff
I’d love some ‘production trick’ videos particularly in AUM, my mixing could do with improving.
Fantastic Jakob
Much thanks Jakob. I am definitely interested into this type of iOS production. I dont know much about this so this video was very helpful to me. I know I would like to learn how to do this in my type of production.
Very useful. Thank you Jakob.🤙🏼
Fantastic, well explained and useful ... once again 😊
Thank you so much for this man! Keep up! I really love your videos ;)
Thanks exactly what I needed.
Thanks for a very good tutorial. I really appreciate it 👍🏼
My pleasure!
I would definitely be interested in this kind of “music production trix” vid.
Yes, interest there is:) great tutorial
Jakob Haq please make a video showing how you did this song with all the four instances of RoughRider3. I have no idea how or why you have this set up. Technical instruction videos may not be popular but at least do this one. This is the main demo track promoting this new feature.
Well done like always
This is awesome! Please do more videos on iOS production tips!!!
Yes i am very interested love you man.. Some day i will post my music lol
I appreciate you my brother!
YES to tricks videos PLEASE !!
Super clear as always. Thanks!
Definitely deep dive into how tos!!!
Nice track Jakob!
Man! The Synthwave track is great. Finish it !
Hey Jakob- would really really like to see more ‘how to’ stuff. Thank you.
Great stuff, and really instructive, Jakob! For my part I can say that I would love to see some more production tricks. Why wouldn't I? And why wouldn't anybody else, guys?
Hmm… my comment appears to have disappeared. Great concise video on production tips. More please Jakob. Cheers. Lee
Oh it appeared after all. Ha.
Real side-chaining in iOS finally! I'll try replacing Pump House with this in my system
very interesting good sir

‘HooQ’ us up!!
Lovely bass at 7:20
I would watch a video on more side chaining!
I’m new to your videos - more production vids please
More production tricks please :-) no such a thing as too many!
FYI. You can double tap anywhere on the vertical line to add an app instead of going down to the +. I found it by accident.
a great learning Jakob
Love this I wish cubasis and bm3 will do this
The developers might be afraid that people will stop purchasing desktop versions and just work on the iPad and does desktop is where the good money is at for Fab filter
You can, since the previous version, just double tap to add another effects slot, and in the midi groupings double tap to add another midi effect/generator slot.
Habit! I drag up and tap by habit. 😅 Keep forgetting about the double tap.
More of this please

That’s also an awesome track!
I have to know how you made that bass line! That bass is just buttery smooth, warm, deep, fat and melodic. Oh man, how did you do it?

Jakob Haq For a quick intro it was great! :) Everything got me hooked: the song, the side chains, and the fun. To the point. 👍 :D
But that bass synth, I couldn’t find that in Figure.
7:21 So you added the bass later. Does it come from a different synth? Maybe Uno Synth?
Hey Jakob,
not sure if you have already or not, but you could make a video about getting "production level" sound out of Drambo? Basically something that one can simply jam "live" and it will sound great without post-mixing/mastering.
Cheers from Munich!
Kristaps
Keep These video going Jakob, not all your watchers are Crack Babies, Pros and Bros moving into the Ipad revolution do watch your videos like these. Im enjoying this right now on the Deutsche Bahn, from Essen to Munich.
Double tapping the line under a send effect does also make a new slot. I think it’s faster
:)
Habit! I drag up and tap by habit. 😅 Keep forgetting about the double tap.
@@JakobHaq i know how that feels! :)
Nice!
Like. Well explained
Hi Jacob pro q 3 has a side chain button but be grateful if you could advise how to set this up - struggling a bit on pro q 3 Cheers!
AU3 sidechain. Simple, short, no pointless “v”, no mishyphenated geek elaboration - just the important bits we need.

Great! We've finally arrived in the DAMN '90s! (hehehe)
BTW: Great video showing how to get a grip on this strange implementation of side-chaining... thank you!
How is this different from having the compressor on the drum channel? What benefit does listening to the other channel get you? I don’t understand. Thanks for any help!

AU multi out route, saves u a couple syllables
That’s also an awesome track!
I have to know how you made that bass line! That bass is just buttery smooth, warm, deep, fat and melodic. Oh man, how did you do it?
I bet you did it with Uno Synth, am I right? :)
