I've set up a sidechain compressor on a guitar bus, and I'm trying to send the vocal track to it, to get it to duck out of the way a little when the vocal is going through the send. But, the option for the side chain isn;t showing up, the sidechain button is activated in the compressor, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've done it dozens of time before in older versions of Cubase, but in Cubase 7 it's not working, is this a bug, or am I missing something? Cheers

So we send it twice, right? I see you sent it once to the fx track and then again to the side chain. So I shouldn't turn the first one off (fx track)?

Great solo guitar sound!! But in my opinion delay is unnecessary effect here )

[sinotna]

I don't get additional output options when I sidechain plugins! Can anyone help?
