Vaughn Oliver explores the use of the Zef Parisoto FLVTTER plugin to apply sidechain distortion to hi-hats, creating a more coherent and glued-together sound.
By setting the sidechain input to a low-end signal like a kick or 808, the plugin distorts the high-end elements, such as hi-hats, based on the low-end input. This technique not only adds a unique character but also subtly dips the volume, enhancing the cohesion between the elements.
Oliver highlights the versatility of the FLVTTER plugin, noting its ability to emulate the sound of slamming elements into a master clipper, akin to techniques used in FL.
