Is sidechaining still a thing..?
29 November, 2020 - 23:13 — fasteddy13
Hi All..
Just been trying to follow the only tutorial I can find re sidechaining in Qtractor;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXemy2YChEw
But this was done on an earlier version (0.6.3) and so I cant seem to replicate it (I am using 0.9.12). I get unstuck when he chooses the 2 tracks he wants to sidechain, then selects 'dedicated' output. There is no 'dedicated' option that I can see..
This tutorial uses Ducka, but I seem to have several sidechain plugins and am hoping I can use the same method for those too..
Any ideas?

re. 'dedicated' option
everything should apply still...
for you to see, the missing option appears on the (right-click) context-menu to plugin list boxes of MIDI tracks or buses only, last sub-menu item: Audio > Dedicated.
hth.
cheers
ps. and 'sidechaining' has been never a thing here, sorry to tell :)
not what I see.,.
Hi..
I do not get the same options when I right-click, that is why I made this post.. See attached pic..
re. not what I see...
and then it was said the it "only" happens on MIDI tracks or buses, remember?
Really..!? I did not notice
Really..!? I did not notice that.. Only midi? I cant sidechain audio tracks?
Thank you..!!
Not sure why I missed that, but I created a midi track and exactly as you say, the option 'dedicated' is showing on right click.. What a pity I cant sidechain audio tracks..
Thank you again..!!
I CAN sidechain audio..!
Hi..
Worked out how to sidechain an audio track. Probably a known thing but if not, it may help another noob like me..
Export the 2 audio tracks (seperately). Create 2 midi tracks and use the plugin samplv1 for each one. Load in one of the audi tracks into samplev1 and create a single note, the length of the project, in the piano roll (make sure it is the right note or the pitch will be out).
You should now have 2 midi tracks with the audio tracks mounted in and can sidechain them..
Would be nice if there was a sidechain facility built into each track (audio and midi) that could be linked to other tracks with a simple click or two.. Will put this on my Xmas wish list, but I have heard that Santa is self-isolating, so maybe next year..
