I noticed that there are four LADSPA plugins, named "SC1, SC2, SC3, and SC4", which I am hoping different types of side chain compressors. I was experimenting a little with SC3, but I couldn't get any noticeable results; here's what I did:
I created two tracks, a simple bass line, and a kick drum track with the kick drum pounding on the down beat. I waned to use the steady One Two Three Four of the kick drum as the side chain, applying compression to the bass track. I loaded the two tracks into Ardour, and used Jack Rack to host the plugin. SC3 has three inputs. Two of these, I assume, are for the left and right channels and the third, I believe is for the side chain. Conveniently, all three of these inputs appear in Patchage, so I was able to experiment pluging the drum track and bass track into different inputs. However I couldn't detect any noticeable difference in the sound of the bass track no matter what arrangement I used. I was wondering if anyone had experience with these plugins, or knew of a better (JACK friendly !!!!! ) way to do side chain compression
