Creating DAWbased feedback loops, then using sidechain compression to regulate them.

Here, working on a project with ‪@SpectralEvolver‬, I show in Logic Pro X how we can use a compressor sidechained to a beat to control a feedback loop for some noisy, industrial sounding music that sounds evocative of the artist Emptyset. I found this was a great way to create a chaotic sound, but keep it under control (and out of the way of the drums).
