MX4 v2 - Audio Input in Logic and Live

Post by nutkin »

Has anyone found a way of doing this in Logic (7.1) and Live (5) with MX4 v2. The input bus selector seems to have disappeared when I run the plugin in either of these hosts. I have a horrible feeling this feature only works in DP.

You can do this in Logic. You'll need to enable the sidechain on the MX4 track, then specify the sidechain input, choosing either an audio track or a bus as your input.

Note that to hear the audio, a note must trigger the envelope, so you'll need to play a note to tell MX4 when to open the envelope. You can disable the oscillators if you want to hear only your audio input.
