ZTEK Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hey Forum, Ever since I updated my copy of Logic I'm not able to sidechain a track/instrument with a bass kick for example WHILE its on mute. I used to be able to do that with the previous version, and used it a lot. An example would be right after a chorus/drop where everything goes to silent and a synth is brought in slowly with the sidechain in/out effect. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, ∆ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You have to set the Solo/Mute behavior to Slow (CPU saving). You'll find the setting in Preferences > Audio > General. Or you could just set the Output of the track to No Output! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The audio routing has stayed the same over all the various Logic versions. Nothing has changed. However, whether or not your signal will be available to a sidechain input when you mute the channel strip in Fast (Remote Channel Strip) mode depends on a few factors: If your kick is on an audio track, you can mute the audio track and its signal is still available as a sidechain. If your kick is on a software instrument track, you would have to send the signal pre-fader to be able to mute the track and still have the signal available as a sidechain.

theupgrade Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It doesnt seem to work for me. I have a Ultrabeat sidechain that I want never be muted as I am mixing. Just like you said I put the pre fader to send to the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theupgrade Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 This really messes up my workflow. Is there anyone who can save a channel strip settings with the right settings and post it? I have a non-audio sidechain that I want to stay unmute as I am soloing different tracks that uses the bus for sidechaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I believe this behaviour has changed form 9 to X. Solo safe the channel strip and you should be fine. (Control-clock on the Solo button) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
