side-chain?

[olega]

Hello everyone! please explain to me how to make the message side-chain? I do so, upload on track with the bass plugin which supports the side chain and at the entrance side chain choose stereo group bus 64-63 and track with drums I make a promise on this stereo band - am I doing it right?)thanks in advance

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but if you are trying to side chain vst plugins, you can't do it because DP doesn't support VST3

Go to Bundles.
Make a bus.
Send the audio you want side-chained, through the bus.
Go to the plugin and "promise" the bus in the side-chain.

Have someone validate this.

Plenty of VST2 plugins support sidechaining...it's pretty much always been there.
When steinberg started pushing vst3, they basically said "VST2 sidechaining is not supported", and they apparently stopped it from working as it always had in cubendo, in order to push VST3. Some plugins that are new to vst-land do not support sidechaining in VST2 for that reason. Some others apparently stopped supporting it (waves?) at some point.
I have several vst2 plugs that sidechain just fine in DP.

If your plugin supports sidechain input, you'll see it in the "DP wrapping" part at the top of the plugin window, as a pulldown (labelled as either sidechain input, or key input, i believe).
Set up a bus as Mathematics describes, and use a send (or directly route the output) from the track you want to trigger the comp from to that bus. Select that bus as the sidechain input on the channel with the compressor.
