To Assign a Track/Bus/Send Output to a Sidechain Input

1. Insert the sidechain-capable plug-in in a track or bus FX bin (see

Adding Effects).

The sidechain input is exposed in the list of available output

destinations in all Track/Bus/Send Output controls (except for outputs

that would result in a feedback loop).

2. Assign the desired audio track, bus or Send output to the plug-in’s

sidechain input. For more information, see Assigning Tracks to Outputs.

Note: All sources that are sent to a sidechain input will be mixed down

prior to being sent to the sidechain.

Sidechain Plug-ins in Clip FX Bins and Surround Bus FX Bins:

Sidechain inputs are not exposed by plug-ins that are inserted in clip FX

bins and surround bus FX bins. You can insert any multi-input plug-in into a

clip FX bin or surround bus FX bin, but the sidechain inputs on these plug-

ins will not be active. The plug-in will function as a normal plug-in and only

receive input on its primary input.
