We need software programmers to come up with something
resembling a " point and click " patchbay. So many routing
problems are involved in this stuff its silly.
FWIW, DB audioware has a compressor with a sidechain, some
forward thinking on their part, however, the compressor
happens at the wrong time to be useful for ducking. I make
copies of the tracks and move the side-chain control track
further ahead in time to try and make up for this, but
still it is no where near as good as a hardware unit.
The waves plugs also have the ability to sidechain from
left to right...
But how about some of the programmers come and see real
stuff being used in the real world?
Maybe then we can have some true solutions with little or
no compromise
