I know that sidechaining has been available since at least SONAR X1 but... I don't know if you could get a 1909 Ford Model T with air conditioning and automatic transmission.

Since side chain is said to be the oldest trick in the book of sound engineering i thought it would be possible in an old daw.

Thanks anyway guys really helpful

You just need to have a plugin that accepts side chains (like the Sonitus ones) on one track and insert a send from the track you want as the side chain to that plugin. Although the graphics are slightly different, the mechanics are pretty identical to newer versions of SONAR/CbB. Even side chain videos from newer SONAR/CbB versions (is hard to find videos from old SONAR versions) will cover what is involved.

You'll have to use it with bus tracks. Lets say you want to sidechain vocals to a track for radio. 

1: Create a Bus

2: Route the  output of the track to a stereo bus. 

3: Insert a sidechain compressor (not all compressors can do sidechain) 

4: Send the vocal track to the compressor input on the stereo bus track. 

5: Tweak until you find your desired effect.

Sonar 6?  ?
Wow that was a while ago. Why not just download Cakewalk for Bandlab while it's available,  cause it won't be for long when they go back to Sonar.
