[RWP] Sidechaining in Reaper 4x

[Drew]

Yes, that works the same in 4. I should have mentioned that step, but 
forgot. The one part I can't figure out, as I said, is choosing the send's 
destination track. You can just make sure where you want it to go is on top 
and then move it afterwards, but this obviously is less than ideal.
