Connecting Fairlight track audio to another track's effect

PostMon Jan 24, 2022 6:38 am

Hello,

I'm trying to insert the audio signal from a Bus - let's call it BUS2 - into a VST plugin sitting on an audio track - let's call it Effect on A1.

For more context, I want to use a plugin called Trackspacer for ducking the soundtrack when there's signal on any of the voice tracks. This is easy to do in any other DAW, probably in Fairlight too, but I'm still learning... Given the nature of the project, I really prefer not to do any roundtrips to another DAW and the Compression sidechaining in Fairlight is simply not enough for what we need.

I couldn't find any explanation on how to achieve this in the manual, but I'm pretty sure I'm missing something.

How could I make this happen?

Resolve does not currently support the VST3 format's sidechaining functionality.
⟦ Mac Pro 7,1 Rack ⊕ 16-core 3.2GHz ⊕ 32GB RAM ⊕ Radeon 580X • Resolve Studio 18.6.6 • macOS 14.3.1 ⟧
⟦ Fairlight Studio Console ⊕ Fairlight Audio Accelerator ⊕ Merging Hapi • Anubis • Ravenna CoreAudio VAD ⟧

Thanks Reynaud for the reply!

I guess we'll have to do the round trip then...
