I do sidechaining in cubase. You need a plugin that supports 3+4 quadro channel I believe. I use Voxengo Crunchessor.

1) create a quadro group
2) go to Devices->vst connections->group/fx, and right click on the new quadro channel, and create a child stereo and a child Ls Rs stereo
3) your bassline output should be routed to the stereo part of the quadro group
**4) your kick should be either routed to Ls Rs stereo of the quadro group or you can use a send to the same group.
5) go to the quadro group and create an insert using your plugin. Select 3 + 4, or quadro channel in the plugin so it knows you want stereo sidechaining.
6) Tweak your compressor till it sounds good


**Note, depending on which setting you use here, your kick will either play or not play. If you don't hear the kick but your bassline is pumping ok, just make a send from your kick to a mono or stereo channel, and you should hear it.

I usually use battery 2 with this method, but anything works obviously

let me know if this works because i aint investing in that vst unless it defo works.

last time when i was messing about with quadro groups when i exported it as stereo it didnt mix down the quadro groups which is understandable but i couldnt figure out how to get it all mixed down with the quadro and stereo groups.

Whats so much better with stereo sidechaining anyway? Whats the actual difference? How is it working compared to mono?

Everyone missed my post or what?

no.. why?

whats the difference between mono and stereo sidechaining?

Stereo sidechaining can take a stereo source, and key it to a another stereo source. You can now use a kick to sidechain a widely panned lead, or pad.

Mono sidechaining will only take mono signals, and if you try to take that panned lead or pad with a kick, it will be in mono, and will lose its wideness.

Sorta it

Ah... guess I've always used stereo sidechaning afterall then..

so in mono sidechaning the ducking sound always stays completely in mono? rofl.. who bothers to use that?
