Trance Gate Technique

Sliviz

Hi guys,

Hope you are all good? I just watched a video about the trance gate technique that you often hear in bicep and old hardcore/jungle tracks. Its basically a choppy vocal.

So up until now I have been manually taking an audio sample and either putting it into an arpeggiator with a short gate to achieve a choppy effect but nothing like this video I watched today by underdog academy. I have also tried manually placing short steps of a sample that has been clipped down but it just doesnt sound as good as what he is doing in the video.

Now my question is has anyone been able to achieve this effect on the deluge other than the way I have been doing it?

sidechain on the vocal/chords, volume duck to -50?

edit: scratch that, not the same effect and it doesn't go in negative values on audio clips. The closest I get is by closing the filter then patching sidechain in filt. freq. -50, then edit sidechain attack-release. This also doesnt work in audio clips so if its a sample need to go with kits or synth....

Here is a quick demo, basically the kick is sent to sidechain and the sidechain opens the filter on the sample...

Another way to achieve this is by modulating the volume with a square shaped LFO.
