sidechaining in sonar

[Lunahorum]

I got the sonar demo and have been considering buying it for some time now. Does anyone know how to sidechain in it a la FL studio? Or can I only sidechain with plugins that have a sidechain input?

In FL studio, you can link an internal controller to a midi controller just like in Sonar, however you can also link an internal controller to another internal controller. There is a plugin called fruity peak controller which converts a wav signal into a controller moving up and down with the wav.

edit: Maybe I can load fruity peak controller into Sonar somehow?

Why do it the hard way?

That's the advantage and the curse of sidechaining. The curse is that everyone's been overusing it to death. The advantage is that people are flooded with clueless HOW DO I SIDECHAIN PLZ questions, so "xxx sidechain" gives you all the results you want (substitute xxx with your sequencing software).

FL's controller structure is special; I don't think there's an equivalent in other sequencers.

Well I am just loving the crap out of sonar's automatic bit bridge in sonar 8 x64. It seems to work seamlessly with all my 32 plugins. I think I will save up some cash and purchase sonar 8.
