Reply To: Help Sidechaining Crunchessor 2 *Solved*

Thanks Frits. I really appreciate your effort and the amount of detail but sadly it still does not work. I followed your advice but if anything it illustrated how complex sidechaining is in Podium even if it is more flexible than most if not any other host.

I think the problem is two fold. Aleksey really IMO should have made it easier by having Crunchessor 2 expose a 1+2, 3+4 and Out mapping to Podium like Compressive but even that is proving to be a huge mountain of clicks for me to set up. Cannot get that to work either and I have seen Martin Eastwoods screen shots for an older Podium sidechain set up

Aleksey said on his forum that you have to hit play then the correct mappings show up. Seems like a host specific thing. I don’t know if that is the case for every other host out there.

A few clicks should be all that is needed. Way too much complexity for me sorry. It has to be the only aspect of Podium that remains difficult to grasp (for me anyway).

I’m going to have to find some other solution thanks. Hopefully an easier way to map side chain capable plugs can be looked at in future.

Making things easier…

No idea exactly how that might be done but something that…

a. Behaves like a command. “Sidechain set up” click on it…

b. You then are asked to pick a plugin.

c. Asks you if Podium should automatically insert the tracks and mappings needed for the sidechain would be nice.

d. Then you simply drag the audio material you want to sidechain and duck to those tracks.

As things stand right now it is incredibly complex IMO. Just giving some frank feedback Frits.

Agian thanks for the write up and guide!
