Sidechain Compression w/ 3rd Party AU Compressors?

Post by FuzzyKeys » Thu Sep 09, 2010 7:57 pm

Is this possible or do you have to use VST's? I'm primarily a Logic user and I'd really prefer not to have to go through the hassle of installing VST versions of any plugins I might want to use sidechaining with just for Live.

As long as the given compressor has the feature - which most tend to now.

Ok great. I can't seem to figure it out with Fabfilter Pro-C. Anyone know how?

Right thanks. Totally makes sense to use a dummy kick bus just like in Logic 9. Cheers.
