Audio Sidechain


Normally an effect plugin processes a single (stereo or mono) audio signal. But by using a side-chain input it is possible to apply processing to a signal based on the level of another signal. 


Some of our plugins also accept MIDI input, for information about routing MIDI please look here.


Steps

  1. Open the plugin window for the Devious Machines product you would like to route to and ensure that it is in a mode that receives audio. This is different for each product so please refer to the manual if you are unsure.

  2. Add a track that you would like to route to the plugin as your sidechain signal.

  3. Return to your track with the Devious Machines plugin and open the sidechain tab in Bitwig's effect rack.

  4. In the dropdown menu, select the track you just created to route the audio to the plugin.

  5. Now, the audio from that track will trigger in your Devious Machines plugin.
