Sidechaining

I’m not sure I know what I’m doing with side chaining. I have two channels on my 2i2. One for my Voice and one for my acoustic guitar. I’d like it so that when I am singing my guitar volume decreases. Is that a proper used case for side chaining?

Hi @squirrelly.hurley,

Please have a look at our dedicated side-chaining tutorial, to learn how to make use of the feature:

Hope that helps!

@LSlowak it doesn’t really help me because I’m a singer songwriter and don’t create the type of music depicted.

Does sidechaining help when recording a vocal track and a guitar track?

Hi @squirrelly.hurley again,

It looks like you want to do a simple two track recording, correct?

While we’re not equipped with the 2i2, here is the link to the dedicated audio routing chapter of our "Getting started with Cubasis tutorial:

Please create two audio tracks, and follow the exact same steps shown to route the available 2i2 inputs to the different tracks.

Does this help to resolve your problem?

Best,
Lars
