[Rwp] sidechaining.

[Chris Belle]

Well, I know I got the sends part right becauseI can hear both tracks 
when I solo the track which has the audio I want to affect, and also has 
the compressor on it.

This is what the guy in the video did,
I believe he's doing it the traditional way.

I know we have to do things round about because of access issues,
there are different ways to do the same thing.

I can't figure out either one of them for now, so my side chaining will 
be limited to my other daw for the time being till I get my head around 
this.
