sidechain


-1) in audio technology, the term refers to the reduce in amplitude of an audio input waveform when another waveform is played at the same time. i don’t really know how to explain it , but the best example would be heard in radios , when the song suddenly becomes softer when the dj starts speaking. thats side-chaining.
it is also used frequently in modern music too , especially trance and house music. an example would be dash berlin – till the sky falls down. dance tracks (i don’t know the right genre) uses them too , like only girl , where the pad is sidechained to the kickdrum.

-2 ) the most overused audio effect.

-3 ) the reason why modern music sounds so bad.
