EASY 3rd Party Sidechain ability...

I would like the ability to use sidechaining with a 3rd party compressor EASILY. Right now it is possible but requires a big work-around. I think Logic handles this the best by giving every plug-in window it's own sidechain drop down menu which lists every source available in the session. All you have to do is click the menu, select the source, and that's it. Couldn't be easier. Let's make this happen folks.

I just called Ableton support about this as well. As it is right now, I have to route a separate midi/audio track every time I would like to setup a new sidechain. Yes, I can group ALL the tracks and then apply the compressor to the group, but that requires me to group tracks that I don't want grouped together. There are workarounds. It just seems like this could be implemented better.

I'd like to have a single sidechain track, with a 3rd party compressor, and be able to route everything to that without fuss.

Thanks!
