[Rwp] sidechaining revisited.

[Chris Belle]

Short answer is to treat your audio track which is being fed by your 
midi track
as an audio track.
But if your kick and other instruments are going to the same audio 
track, ie, if your synth is
a multi-tembral synth, you need to separate it all out.
If you just want your drums to effect
the bass, or more precisely the kick only, you need to only send your 
kick to that audio track,
splitting out all elements o that drum track.
