Creating Side-Chain Connections From Multiple Inputs
For plug-ins that support multiple side-chain inputs, you can create side-chain connections coming from multiple side-chain inputs of that plug-in.
Prerequisite
You are using an effect plug-in that supports several side-chain inputs, such as the Squasher plug-in.
Procedure
- In the Project window, select an audio track.
-
In the track list, click Edit Channel Settings.
The Channel Settings window for the audio channel opens.
-
In the Inserts section, click the first insert slot on the Inserts tab, and, from the selector select the effect plug-in that supports several side-chain inputs.
The selected insert effect is loaded and activated, and the audio is routed through it. The effect control panel opens.
- On the effect control panel, click Set up Side-Chain Routing.
-
In the Side-Chain Routing panel, click Select the Plug-in Side-Chain Input, and, from the pop-up menu, select the plug-in input for the side-chain source.
The number of available side-chain inputs depends on the plug-in.
- Click Add Side-Chain Source, and select a source from the pop-up menu.
- Optional: Repeat the steps above to activate more plug-in inputs.
- Adjust the effect plug-in, as required and do not forget to activate the corresponding side-chain inputs.
Result
The number of possible side-chain inputs determines the number of bands that can be controlled by side-chain sources.
