[Rwp] sidechaining.

[Chris Belle]

Well, I admit defeat for the; moment, I sure can't get it to work.

I know how this stuff works, in sonar, it's as easy as assigning the 
track out put of
your controling track, to the side chain input of an effect, which 
resides on
a track with audio you want to control.

This usurps your audio from that controling track, so you can't hear it 
anymore, the simple example being a voice over controling music,
so you have to make a send from that voice over track so youcan hear the 
audio because the main output of it is controling the side chain on the 
other track.

It seems like we're going about it the other way around here,
putting the processor or fx on the controling track, and then some how 
making the receiving track listen to it, I think I got the making a 4 
track part right,
I'm using Osara, and some of those field when you tab around when you 
press i don't talk yet,
and object nav hasn't shown me up anything yet, but I changed where it says
track channel and made it 4
That's right after pan and width.

so I'm assuming that gives the traxck the ability to send a copy of 
itself elsewhere.

I use reacomp
as my experiment, and I went in to the fx window and saw where it said 
detector input and changed that to
auxiliary lr,
and I know reacomp is not receiving from that
because it quits working of course.
But making the other track receive the signal I think is the issue, I've 
tried things with sends andreceives, but reaper has this maddening thing 
of automatically doing things when you arrow to certain places in that 
dialogue, all I've succeeded in doing is getting copies of my audio send 
to the different track, but not from the fx which is what I want.

This is a fairly straight forward thing I've done for years can do it 
with hardware, and with sonar, why is it such a pain in reaper?

In osara I don't see anything readily that says

Find the buttons that say audio 1/2 and >=1/2. Press on the >= one and
select 3/4. Done.
maybe this is something yet to be fixed up in Osara,
I can't see how to tell the track to listen to the side chain.

In a normal situation that fx would be residing on that track and listening to another track.
Reaper is so powerful but it does everything sideways and upside down  to everything
traditionally with audio  in the ways the rest of the world does it 'grin'.

Give me a bunch of bananas, I'm going to sit in my tree, and babble and cackle.
'grin'.
