In my everlasting quest for the ultimate sidechain-compressor, I tried out this machine:

It sounds and looks promising, but I can´t figure out how to use the sidechain-option. Where some other sidechain-compressor-plugins use an extra plugin to export the sidechain-signal, this one uses 4 inputs.

Side Chaining
The GAC-1 supports side chaining in two special variants named “GAC1_SC” and “GAC1_SCM” the last one being a mono version (see “Variants” in this chapter).
Side chaining is used to compress one signal depending on the signal level of another. Often used applications are to duck a bass guitar when there is a kick drum, or to duck music whenever a speaker talks (often used for background music in radio- and television programs). There are of course many more applications that are not mentioned here.
How to use side chaining
First you will need a track that supports the amount of inputs in the side chain plugin (four in the stereo version and two in the mono version). The side chain signal is always applied to the last input(s) of the plugin. On each compressor and equalizer is a button that enables side chaining. Enabling side chaining on one of the compressors will lead the side chain input(s) to the level detector of that compressor. This makes compression based on its level instead of its normal input level. Enabling side chain on one of the equalizers will replace its normal input (according to its routing) with the side chain signal.
The mono side chain version can always be inserted on a mono track, as the host will always supply both inputs with the same signal.
Not all hosts support four inputs. Refer to the manual of your Host applications.

Is there a way to make this thing work? |
