Mackie Stereo and Mono Side chain Compressor ユーザーズマニュアル

The Sidechain Compressors have an extra input 
(the Key Input), and you must use the Rack 
Filters feature of Tracktion to make this work. 
This is really exciting and wonderful, so we 
hope you will bear with us here.

Right-click on 
the fi lter you 
just added, 
and select 
"wrap this 
fi lter in a new 
rack fi lter" 
from the drop 
down menu.

The rack fi lter 
section will appear, with the Sidechain Com-
pressor in place and its inputs, key input, midi, 
and output lines shown connected. 

The fi lter is now shown as a Stereo Sidechain 
Comp Wrapper.

The next pages show some examples, with 
steps showing how to set up the Key Input and 
Main Input(s) to the Sidechain Compressor.

The fi rst thing to do is to open up Tracktion and 
open your project.

Tracktion uses the term “fi lter” to refer to a 
plug-in, be it native to Tracktion, or a 3rd party 
plug-in such as a VST plug-in. 

To add the plug-in to your tracks, simply drag 
the icon labelled “new fi lter...” located just 
above the fi lter section, and drop it where you 
want the new fi lter to be placed. The fi gure be-
low shows a fi lter being added to track one.

Notice that the area in front of the volume/pan 
fi lter is glowing red; this is how you can tell 
where the fi lter will be placed. If there is no illu-
mination, then you are not currently over a valid 
target area.

Once the “new fi lter” icon has 
been dropped, a list of available 
fi lters will appear, as if by mag-
ic. Choose the fi lter you wish to 
add to the track from this list. 
The Sidechain Compressors and 
other plug-ins are available in 
the "Mackie Plugins" folder of 
this drop down menu.
