FL Studio 7 Tutorial: Sidechaining Written on 23 September 2007 by Ceox
Version of FL Studio: 7.0.0 (Will work with 6 ->)
Skill needed: Have been using FL for a while.

Step 1:
We start by opening a blank project in FL Studio.

Step 2:
Choose a kick sample and load it into the sampler. I choosed DNC_Kick for my project.

Step 4:
Copy the settings of my 3xOsc to your 3xOsc from the next image (or make your own settings).

Step 5:
Set the kick to the mixer insert 1. Select the Kick, open the mixer (F9), select the insert 1 and press CTRL+L. The Kick is now on mixer insert 1.

Step 6:
Set the 3xOsc to mixer insert 2 (Step 5).
Your mixer should look like this now:

Step 7:
Insert the Fruity Peak Controller- effect to the mixer insert of the kick (Insert 1).

Step 8:
Link the volume slider of the 3xOsc's mixer insert to the Peak Controllers peak on insert 1 (look below).
Set the Link to controller- windows settings the same as below.

Step 9:
Now open the Peak Controller of the mixer track 1 (the kick), and set these settings to it:
Remember the mute knob in Peak Controller!

Step 10:
Now our sidechaining is ready, the only missing thing is the patterns.
I have put the next patterns to my project:
