Sidechain Compression
Sidechaining is a production technique used to bring a sound at the top of the mix, in the demanding focus. Sidechaining is extremely useful for the kick drums and bass in a mix. Use sidechaining to subtract parts of the kick drum or bass when they overlap.

LFO’s
LFO’s are great for adding movement making notes blend together and feel like a groove. Using LFO’s with your own racks are great for developing a unique sound that no one else has. Get more insight about How To Make EDM With Movement using LFO’s with RIP Kenny.
