Sidechain audio compressor VST plug-in?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a sidechain compressor VST plug-in that works with Vegas 7.0d or newer?

I used the SideKick plug-in back in the fall, with one of the older versions of Vegas 7.0, and it worked great.

But now I find it won't work with 7.0d, instead it crashes it. :(

I found another sidechain VST plug-in on-line, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set it up to work in Vegas, I can't find a way to feed it one track for the key and one track for the signal.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have 7.0d running with two MP3 test tracks both tied into trackFX with SideKick v3 active. Seems fine.

Eugene - Could it be that either of your sources are floating point or multichannel audio. SidekickV3 doesn't seem to mind if I'm in 2 channel or 5.1 mode at any bitrate.

Perhaps re-install the plug-in and/or replace the VST in the default folder and rescan for it in the Vegas Options|Preferences [VST].

I also have SideChainComp 1.02 loaded, but I don't recall if it worked in the class of VST host that Vegas represents itself as or if it was any good.

I haven't tested on 7.0e at present.
