Pro-C side-chaining on an Return channel in Ableton

Is there any way to do this?

I want to side chain multiple signals using only one instance of the plug.

However, if Pro-C is sitting on the returnaux channel, the option to send the trigger audio to the VST on the return/aux does not appear on the drop down.

Help? I know how to do this with audio channels, no problem. But I think it could be useful to be able to dial in on the sends and maintaining the original signal volume. Perhaps this defeats the point of using the Pro-C, I don't know.

Any advice? I really am just looking for a way to cut down on CPU drain by just having one instance of the plug running rather than setting up multiple instances of it on each audio track I want to process.

Any replies appreciated.

Thanks!

No one?

Hi Robosapien,

I've just tested this myself in Ableton 8, and indeed it simply doesn't seem possible in Ableton Live to send a signal to a side-chain of a plug-in on a Send channel!

Maybe it's a good idea to send Ableton a feature request about this. I don't see why this woudn't be possible...

Cheers
