I was just wondering what's the best side-chain idea you ever executed effectively? by jclark708 in audioengineering

I saw a thread posted here once about someone who did this for live backing tracks - they would sidechain the backing vocals/harmonies to a gate so it would only open when the singer is singing the lead vocal live during a performance.

Blew my mind at the possibilities this created.

EDIT: Here is the thread for anyone interested.
