Indeed! I've used it all this time and never tried sidechaining it!?!
I was just very frustrated with everything, had several hardware issues during this computer build concurrently with this, it was just the icing on the cake. I just freshly reinstalled everything from X2 to CBB and thought I activated all the Prochannel plugins, I don't ever remember activation for anything being like that. I guess it's been on my old machine longer than I thought and perhaps overconfident of me to install everything at once without making sure they were all activated individually.
