Creating a side-chaining effect in most VST sequencers can be quite a hassle or is not even possible. The purpose of SideKick4 is to make this process possible and a lot easier.
You will be able to make a stereo side-chaining setup just by loading two instances of the VST plugin on 2 stereo tracks in your VST host, and linking them together by selecting one of the thirty-two built-in virtual buses.
An excellent tutorial has been made showing the usage of the SideKick4 VST plugin. It has been kindly provided by Branislav Pakić. www.boomtschak.com. Cheers mate!
Questions comments? leave them at the forum topic.
In addition to the previous changes this version now has:
Fixes for the side-chain routing extending the compatibility with multiple VST hosts. (Support for variable buffer sizes and eliminating the dependency of computation order within the host).
A led to indicate if audio is being received from a virtual bus.
Parameter presets to make a side-chaining setup even faster.
A drive knob with soft saturation to 'fatten up' the output signal.
The virtual channels are upgraded to virtual buses, making it easier to create side-chain mixes. And thereby supports (virtually) unlimited instances of SideKick4.
Ratio & gain control, Lifting the effect up from a gate effect to full compressor.
Optional stereo-linking, by turning stereo-linking off you can create expressive stereo ducking & keying effects.
Multiple audio input and output meters creating better transparency in the interface for side-chain routing.
All parameters, including the side-chain routing can be automated and saved by the VST host. This ensures the side-chain routing will stay intact after saving and closing your project
