What does sidechaining do

Otherwise, I would suggest finding the crack frequency in the snare and then do some surgical EQ on the guitars to leave space for the snare.

To do this, I guess one would need like a multi band compressor that has sidechain possibility and where you can assign the side chain to what bands you want to trigger. I was thinking if there was a way to set up so that only a certain part of the guitar spectrum would be affected by the sidechain, then it wouldn't fatigue the ears as much I think. I have been thinking about the same thing, but with standard side chaining, all of the guitar's spectrum would be dragged down when a snare is hit.
