In this video I explain a few methods you could use to create the pumping side-chain compression effect heard in a lot of electronic music, without using a compressor. It involves VCA's, offsetting envelopes, LFO's, filters and a lot of cables. It's not a quick video so you might want to skip ahead using the timing index below.
