[amo] Side Chaining with Grouped Tracks
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:55 pm
Hey guys,
I've found if I group a bunch of audio tracks together (they all get their input from Drumazon, a VSTi), and then I'm trying to put a live compressor on the snare channel (grouped) and side chained to the kick (also grouped). I have the option to select the kick from the drop down "Audio From", but when selected, the Threshold is dictated by another of the group tracks (a tom). The funny thing is, the correct levels are showing under the side chain section under "Audio From" - Kick - Post FX (I've tried Pre and Post-Mixer as well - all just show the kick level). And this happens no matter what group track I select, the threshold is dictated by the same grouped track (the Tom).
Does that make sense? I assume this is not expected behavior?
