The current VST architecture doesn't allow for sidechaining.
The next version supposedly will.

That is not entirely true.

With multi-input VST plug-ins and a host with flexible routing it is not a problem to achieve sidechaining. For instance, CubaseSX, Ableton Live and Tracktion does support sidechaining. It may be a little tedious in some hosts, but I believe it is up to the developers of hosts to provide better and more elegant support of effect/bus routings instead of blaming the VST architecture.

I have created a couple of video tutorials on how to set up sidechain compression using the Compadre beatpuncher compressor. The basic approach however is the same with other multi-input VST plug-ins. One of the videoes uses CubaseSX and guess it will be similar in Nuendo. The videoes can be downloaded from http://www.otiumfx.com/compadre.php.

The technique is also described on our forum in this thread.

Unfortunately the Waves plug-ins (at least on the VST platform) only offer the basic 2-channel inputs, so sidechain will therefore be limited to mono tracks.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Rune

Sorry about that. We are having some server issues right now.

We are in the process of moving to a new hosting service, so things may be a little unstable these days. Try again in a few hours.

Best regards,
Rune

One thing that confused the crap out of me at first was that in SX3 I had to route my mono bass and kick to their own stereo busses before I could sidechain using the child bus technique.

If you just use mono channels you will have bass guitar coming out of one side of your speakers.
