Using Meldaproduction plugins for clashing bass and kick

How to deal with clashing bass and kick?
Here's my favorite method – using some plugins by MeldaProduction​ (no, this is not an ad).

How is this different from standard sidechaining? Regular sidechaining pushes down the entire signal, but this one shows how to only push down a very specific frequency range so you can preserve most of the signal and only deal with problematic frequencies.
Let's say you have a noisy bass only want to have its sub duck...here's how.

I hope it helps you.

Not so multiband compressors with sidechain input. E.g. fxpansion´s DCAM CrossComp.

Yeah, for sure; what I demonstrated is pretty much the same thing.

(PS: What I forgot to show in the video is that you can actually SEE the sidechain signal in the sonogram in MDynamicEQ – you go to "settings" in the analyzer pane and select "sidechain" (instead of "input" or "output" to see the sidechain signal in sonogram...it's super handy).

in reaper this is called parameter modulation. any audio signal (or LFO) can modulate any vst parameter, to awesome and unexpected results.

i use it like you do above to make room for different instruments in a dense mix. it's a lifesaver.
