i'm making a compressor at the moment and i'm wondering if it's possible to implement side chaining.
now i've never 'side chained' anything before and i don't really know how it works, does it depend on the routing possibilities of the host?
so if i made an extra two inputs and routed them to the threshold of the compressor would the user then be able to route an audio stream to these inputs, therefore controlling the threshold of the compressor with the incoming signal levels?
i don't know if it's that simple, i've been reading up on sidechaining and i've found a few tutorials, in one of them you just had to set up midi cc values that were the same on both source and destination, which totally confused me, whats midi got to do with it? surely the threshold isn't being controlled by midi.
if anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated 🙂
cheers 😉

It is that simple. But not all hosts provide good routing schemes for multi-input plugins. Modular and semi-modular ones do. In for instance Cubase you have to use a quad bus.
The MIDI solutions is a compromised workaround. Multi-input is the only one that always works as it should, otoh, not all hosts can deal with it in a good way. But I'd recommend that solution.

Reaper is a host that provides easy side chaining. Not as sophisticated as Cubase and the other 'majors' for midi, but very good for audio.

ah ok so i can set it up and then if the host supports it then they will be able to do it 🙂
i though it would be mainly down to the hosts routing capabilities but i wasn't sure.
cheers 😉

Yes, Sidechain_Compressor is not work, the Trigger Signal from C+ Plugin is a Dinamic Memory Stream for Read the Sampe_Index for
Creating RealTime Signal for Threadhold..
My Idea is Check the Wave and Array in SM for Reading the Index_Singal
for the Threadhold, is have as not Testet is Idea for this Problem with
the Sample_Memory.
