Steve,
Sorry for being dense on side-chain issues, but I've shied away from
using these specific plugins inside of Ardour since I seem incapable of
figuring out on my own how the side chain gets hooked up within that
application. Is this an Ardour issue, or am I just missing some simple piece
of info that makes it obvious?
yes, its an app-specific question.
present: ardour can't hook up the side chains in any useful way, sort of
future: such plugins would be inserted into a patch bay-like object,
and connected to from there using wires or something similar.
between time: you could always use jackrack or some similar tool, put
the plugin there, and connect "by hand" from within ardour. you'd
create a port insert in the relevant audio track to send/return the
audio to the compressor, then connect whatever you want to the side
chain ports of the compressor. port inserts add latency, however.
