Feb 11 - 12:47 PM, by Nantho Plug-ins > Wave Arts
Plug-ins : Wave Arts Power Suite v5.40 - macmusicWave Arts is pleased to announce the 5.40 update for their Power Suite 5 product line, which features TrackPlug external sidechain improvements, including support for VST.

A new VST plug-in called TrackPlug 5 ExtSC allows external tracks to be routed to TrackPlug as sidechain signals in hosts such as Cubase 4 and Sonar 7. External sidechaining allows one track's dynamics to be controlled by the signal of another, for example, engaging a compressor on a bass track whenever a kick drum on other track occurs. External sidechain is now supported in Audio Unit, VST, RTAS and MAS formats.

The update is free for registered v5 users.
