Can anyone point me in the direction of...

Using a snare trigger track to open a gate on a micd snare track?

How do I(you) do this?

I'm using Nuendo, BTW. I know it has to do with making a quadro track, but I'm lost from there.

use a gate with sidechain feature and sidekick. its a free vst plugin.

I found another one here using a midi track and Steinberg MIDI Gate:

use a gate with sidechain feature and sidekick. its a free vst plugin.

Part of the problem I'm having with it is either I get the trigger to affect the comp, but can't get the comp to affect the micd track - OR - I can get the comp to affect the micd track, but can't get the trigger to open the gate. Seems part of the answer is having a "keyed" function on a gate...SideKick has that, but I still couldn't get it to work.

use similarly to the video in the sidechain faq:




OR: put the sidekick in there and read the instructions on that page how to use them.

Ah. ok.

"Receiveing audio (sidechaining your audio)
To receive audio from the virtual channels Alpha, Beta, Gamma and/or Delta, do the following:
Open a SideKickV3 on the (stereo)channel you want to sidechain and select the virtual channels (Alpha, Beta, Gamma and/or Delta) under 'use virtual channel' to use the audio on those virtual channels as sidechain input.

Note: This plugin needs to be loaded twice into 2 seperate channels in your VST host to be able to work. Because the plugins can 'see' eachother and use each others audio input. "
