Is there a way to sidechain the bass to a compressor with the kick as an input? otherwise the low end is very muddy.

Yes, there is a `sidechain` function designed specifically for this. I wanted to keep this tutorial simple so I skipped a lot of mixing techniques or were left as an exercise to the reader, but I will try to cover those as well in future tutorials. Sign up to get notified for when they arrive!

For now you can see how it's done here[0] on line 139. I pretty much use it on every other track I've made as well.

I'm sold. This is really cool. Looking forward to this becoming more open; shared with my edmproduction fam. Thanks!

It's still clipping terribly in my browser

If it was clipping it would show as red in the amplitude visualizer, however the bass does have a lot of energy and that might be the cause for the clipping you're hearing. You can multiply it by a factor to reduce its amplitude.

It strikes me as kind of weird (or maybe a red flag?) that there's no landing page nor an About page.

I think it's more of a red flag that they chose a name that's one letter away from a well-known site that sells music samples: https://www.loopmasters.com/

Not like a fringe unknown one, but one with over 20 years of history and now-owned by Beatport.

meh, if they were that worried about their brand, they should have bought up the variants of their domain plus TLDs. otherwise, they can't possibly be that concerned about their trademark.
