      "transcript_text": "Hey everyone, today we're going to talk about sidechain compression and how I use it in my productions. So the basic idea is you take the kick drum signal and use it to duck the bass. Most people use a compressor for this but I actually prefer Trackspacer because it gives you frequency-specific ducking. With Trackspacer you can set it to only affect 100 to 300 Hz so when the kick hits, the bass ducks just in that low-mid range. The top end stays right there."

      "transcript_text": "Now let me show you another technique — parallel compression on drums. I use Drum Buss with the drive at about 40 percent, then send that to a return track. On the return I put Valhalla Room with a short decay, like 1.2 seconds. Mix it in at minus 12 dB. Your drums just breathe — they get this room sound without getting washy."
