2.1.31. Sidechain mode
The sidechain mode combo-box allows you to choose how Loudness Leveler uses the sidechain input.
- Disabled ignores the sidechain input entirely.
- Engage activates leveling only when the sidechain signal exceeds the sidechain threshold.
- Disengage deactivates leveling when the sidechain signal exceeds the sidechain threshold.
- Direct uses the sidechain signal’s loudness directly to drive leveler gain, bypassing the normal source measurement.
The sidechain threshold control is only enabled for Engage and Disengage modes.
