As already mentioned, the workaround for the lack of native sidechaining is to use some "sidechain-ready" VST plugins.
Or you could try emailing them for that specific feature request. I know for a fact that they do read support forums and emails. |
Well I've tried calling and emailing them and I really got nowhere with it. I even signed up for the AP7 beta testing and heard nothing back even though I have experience beta testing other audio products. In fact the person who I spoke with at Sony Creative Software didnt even know what sidechaining is. She had to ask one of the tech support ppl who simply gave an answer similar to yours. "Use a sidechain ready vst". They didnt really seem to care.
Now I did indeed try that twisted lemon vst and it was complete garbage. The concept was good but unless my version of Acid Pro 6 has some kind of issues with virtual routing I really dont hear it doing much of any sidechaining regardless of the settings I used.
And before you say anything...yes I did spend a great deal of time with it and know how the virtual channels work. I heard it "trying" to do something but it certainly wasnt even remotely close to any kind of decent sidechaining.
As of now I do all my sidechaining in Ableton 7 and then export the tracks as wavs and drop them into Acid Pro 6. So unless there is a better sidechain ready vst that you know of I am going to continue what I am doing now.
I have a love/hate relationship with Acid Pro but to be honest it's so damn easy to use and I know so much about how it works that I really dont want to try and learn anything else.
