Weld will phase-align a bass layer to another layer it hears through the sidechain. This first build only checks that FL Studio delivers the sidechain to a CLAP aux port: it passes the main layer through unchanged, meters the sidechain and offers Layer/Sum/Sum dry listening. No latency.
Weld
Weld aligns the phase of one bass layer to another layer so the two sum instead of cancelling in the mids.
Status: sidechain test build. This build only checks that FL Studio delivers a sidechain signal to Weld. It passes the main layer through unchanged and shows the sidechain level. Phase alignment comes in the next build.
Set up in FL Studio
- Load Weld on the mixer track of one layer (the main layer).
- On the mixer track of the other layer, right-click the route arrow to the main layer's track and choose Sidechain to this track.
- In Weld's plugin wrapper, open the settings (gear icon) and, under the processing or input routing options, set Weld's sidechain input to that track.
- Play both layers. The large readout must show
sidechain: −NN dBFS, and the SIDECHAIN meter must move.
Controls
- Listen:
- Layer outputs the main layer; use it in the mix.
- Sum outputs the main layer plus the sidechain layer. Mute the other layer's own send to the master while you listen to Sum.
- Sum dry outputs the unprocessed sum, for comparison.
- Output: output trim.
- Bypass.
Weld adds no latency.
