Christopher Amato Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Next 2025.06 is now available! What's New Side Chaining Cakewalk Next now supports sidechain routing for instrument plugins and effects that accept external inputs. To set up a sidechain: If a plugin supports sidechaining, a new Sidechain Source button will appear in the plugin module in the bottom panel track inspector To assign one or more sidechain sources, click the sidechain button to select from a list of available inputs Note that the sidechain input is pre-fader, post-FX Multiple sidechain inputs are automatically summed Available for use with AU and VST plugin formats Example Usage To create a classic "ducking" effect where a bass track volume lowers in response to kick drum hits: Insert a compressor plugin on the bass track that supports sidechain input In the plugin inspector, click the Sidechain Source button and select the kick drum track Adjust the compressor settings so that the sidechain input triggers gain reduction This technique helps the kick drum sound more prominent by momentarily lowering the bass level while it sounds.
