Side-Chain Input
Side-Chain and Modulation
Side-chain signals bypass the built-in LFO modulation and apply modulation according to the
envelope of the side-chain signal. Since each channel is analyzed and modulated separately, this
allows for creating astonishing spatial modulation effects.
Triggering a Delay Effect with Side-Chain Signals
You can use side-chain signals to create a ducking delay effect. This is useful if you want to apply
a delay effect that is audible only when no signal is present on a track.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the audio track that contains the audio you want to delay.
2. Select Project> Duplicate Tracks.
The events on the duplicated track are only used to reduce the volume of the effect that is
added to the original track.
3. Select the original track.
4. In the Inspector, open the Inserts section and select Delay> PingPongDelay, for
example.
The control panel for the effect opens.
5. Make the desired effect settings for the effect, and activate Activate Side-Chain.
6. In the track list, select the duplicated track.
7. In the Inspector, click Output Routing and select the side-chain node for the
PingPongDelay effect that you set up.
RESULT
The signals from the duplicated track are routed to the effect. Every time the audio signals on the
track set in, the delay effect is deactivated.
NOTE
To ensure that audio signals of low or middle volume also silence the delay effect, you can adjust
the volume of the duplicated track.
