Ducking with Cubase SX and Waves C1

[mas]

Hi,
Does someone know how that I've to do the routings between Cubase and Waves C1 to get "ducking"??? I don't find out how I can trigger a signal in the plugin.

Tell me if you need some more informations.

Cheers,
mas

Unless the C1 has 4 inputs you are limited to doing a mono Left and Right kind of pseudo ducking. Put the signal you want to duck in the left channel, put the trigger signal in the right at a louder volume so it triggers the threshold before the left signal then route the left output to your mix and not the right.

Some of Voxengo's plugs have 4 inputs so you can duck stereo signals. The C1 is a pretty old plugin.

it works!!!!!

GRS: isn't there any solution in stereo with Waves????

You could try the C360? Surround Compressor, part of the Waves 360 Surround Tools Bundle.

Haven't tried this myself.

I have done stereo side chaining with Voxengo comp plugin but not keen on its overall sound, also in the Creamware Scope environment, much more flexible compressor.

The waves surround compressor is just a soft knee limiter with a threshold only setting, I'd forget that one.
Another one I've read about but not tried is OtiumFX Compadre Beatpuncher, it has true 4 chan input.
