Access TI (VST3) and Cubase 5 sidechain query

[mitchiemasha]

cubase supports side chaining into insert effects but it doesn't support it for instruments - that's true for cubase 4 and 5

i'm going to have to post up how I added side chaining to my virus. I used an audio sample of a kick drum to create some serious ducking to a big fat lead coming out of my virus. you might not be able to use an audio input on your virus to trigger your sidechain but you could just record it then use it from an audio track.

I might be going down the total wrong road with what you guys are on abt but there is always a way.
