Ableton sidechain track to EQ band gain?

Question

I'm curious how I can utilize a track with kicks to duck a specific frequency band in my main track.

I can split the main track with Multiband Dynamics, and duck the middle band, but is there any way to simply route to a param like one of the EQ 8 points?

Answer 1

One thing you could do is:

1. Duplicate the layer you wish to do this on
2. on one layer EQ everything EXCEPT the frequencies you want to duck
3. on the other layer ONLY EQ the frequencies you want to duck
4. side-chain your kick to the second layer (the one with ONLY the frequencies that you want to duck)

Let me know how it goes.
