[LAD] Routing signals in mixer (Ardour, Qtractor)

[Niels Mayer]

Is there a similar solution with Qtractor possible for audio plugins
that output midi (e.g. audio->midi pitch detection as provided by
'autotalent'), or midi-controlled audio-processing plugins (again,
such as autotalent). You mentioned this configuration wasn't possible
before ( http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2010/05/0369.html
http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2010/05/0372.html ) -- is that still
the case?

It seems like the case solved by Jeremy was an "all audio" plugin
setup with some extra side-chaining (e.g.

).

What if you want to use MIDI control as your "side chain" (
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may01/articles/advancedgating.pt2.asp
) ? Instead of ducking one instrument based on the sound of the drum
hits, one simply had a midi note-on/note-off during the hit. Or even
better, a Note-on and an ADSR to control the length and amplitude of
the "duck".... A good example of this would be using a fast on/off
repeating "note" in midi to gate an existing signal -- to give that
old school rave sound to synths (

) or "stuttering" vocals ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnnDMvdVDz4
).
