Hi, I just noticed, that when I use a sidechain (e.g. on a compressor in the bass track with the kick drum as a sidechain input), I can't solo the bass without also hearing the kick drum. Is that intended? Does this serve any purpose? I know, there are several workarounds (group solo and mute buttons) or just also solo the bus if you have a dedicated bass bus. Thanks in advance for your replies. :)
