I saw in a tutorial someone using Ableton. He sidechained a triger track to vocal. A gate effect was in use somewhere. Does anyone understand what im saying first of all, and second, anyone knows hwo to make that on cubase?
Here on min 13 is the effect created (remove the Dash sign in /, system doesnt allow links)

How to Make BREAKBEAT like BICEP – Awesome FREE Ableton Project File & Samples
System doesnt allow links
Hi,
maybe it´s easiest if you´d share the link of this tutorial? There are a bunch of scenarios when sidechaining comes in quite handy if you are dealing with vocals. Was a reverb or delay involved by any chance…?

No worries, I found the tutorial - the title is as good as link 
.
One request, though: can you point me to the part that is relevant for your question (min x to y)? The tutorial goes on for almost 40 minutes…
Min 13 pls. by the min 14 he lets u hear the effect created
How to setup a vocal gate that is sidechained by a trigger
Here we go:
Create a trigger signal. Take anything you want, e.g. an instance of Retrologue and play a sequence of notes that represent the vocal chops you want to hear later on. Let´s call this track Trigger.
Go to your vocal channel - let´s call it Vox - and load a Gate into one of your insert slots.
In your Gate you need to
A > Activate Sidechaining
B > Open Side-Chain Routing and
C > Add Trigger as your source track
Look at the Trigger track and here at the sends: there´s a new one.
Open the gate again in the Vox insert slot and
A Turn the threshold to the left if the gate is not working, yet
B Adjust the attack and release clockwise if you want smoother cuts (or the other way round for sharp cuts)
Enjoy
By the way: if you are just looking for very harsh cuts like in a stutter effect (in the explanation above attack and release all the way down anti-clockwise) than you could just cut your vocals into pieces and mute them accordingly. The reason to go for a gate is that you can control the transitions to make it sound more natural.
Create two tracks. One is for the audio event, the other is a midi track for the triggering.
Load the plugin “MidiGate” as an insert to the audio track.
Now assign the MIDI output of the Trigger track to the MidiGate plugin.
There you go.
U guys made me happy for joining steinberg.
Just found out that kickstart 2 is way easier to use with this method. Thanks guys
Yes, indeed, @Johnny_Moneto 's route is more efficient. I totally forgot about the midigate which is specifically designed for that purpose. Thumbs up, Johnny!
@e.qevani In case you ever want to trigger an fx via sidechain based on an audio signal - now you know 
I was just curious to check and it seems the forum allows YouTube links
Yes, it surely works… for you. 
e.qevani is a newcomer to the forum and therefore does not have all the possibilities yet.
