Sidechaining

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

information, see “Assigning Inputs & Outputs” on page 205.

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.

Bouncing audio with sidechain plug-ins

In order to render a sidechain input as part of a mix when bouncing audio, you must select all tracks

that contribute to the sidechain input.

Freeze and sidechain inputs

Freeze does not consider sidechain inputs because Freeze only works on a single audio track at a

time. To mix down sidechain inputs, use standard bounce with all sidechain sources selected in the

mix.

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

the sidechain.
