with trance music, side-chaining is really common.
The 'synth/lead' in trance music is usually the main focal point but the problem is: sometimes it overshadows the drum/kick
and it's hard to hear the kick/drum. Simply making the kick/drum louder will not help because then the song will sound too busy.

Side-chaining reduces the volume of the synth/lead at the right time (when the kick comes in) with a very quick fade-out and fade-in, and it gives the result that many trance songs use.

Side-chaining works fine in Qtractor. The issue is: saving the final song so other people can hear it without Qtractor.
I'm now just trying to export it in *any* way that is possible.
I realize exporting to .wav in Qtractor won't work in this particular case, but I was hoping Audacity could 'listen' to Qtractor playing (via jackd) and pick up what it hears, but it's not that straight-forward it seems lol.
