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
|
||
|
||
1. Load Weld on the mixer track of one layer (the main layer).
|
||
2. 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**.
|
||
3. 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.
|
||
4. 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.
