Default Sidechain send problem

I have a kick with several fx in the insert...

I made the track have four trackchannels

First effect is ReaGate. I set its outputs to 1,2,3,4, all the other fx on the kick track following reate have inputs and outputs as 1 and 2,

I send to the bass guitar track (which i have also set to 4 trackchannels) trackchannels 3/4, but previewing channels 3/4 on the bass guitar track, I hear all of the fx on the kick track, not just the gate

What have I broken? I just want the bass track's sidechain to hear the gated kick, none of the other fx

I've not been awake long enough to wrap my head around your routing, but it would be easier to duplicate the kick exclusively for the sidechain key and uncheck its master/parent send.

Does your send show 3/4 to 1/2. That should get you just the gate output.

- Go through the routing pins for all of your FX and make sure they aren't accidentally outputting on 3/4

- Make sure your track send is showing 3/4 --> 3/4

Sounds like you are doing it right to me from your description, there is nothing before the gate and nothing else patches through 3/4. Try bypassing the other fx on the strip to see if something you have inserted is misbehaving.

Right. It should be 3/4 to 3/4.

OK, its working now, I have changed nothing but put an instance of ReaComp right after the gate on the kick track. I left ReaComp's routing at 1/2 and 1/2.

Now when I preview filter on the bass track's ReaComp, I only hear the gated effect on the kick and nothing else. Gonna work through this with the man himself today hopefully....I wonder if it has anything to do with ReaComp having 4 inputs. I tried other 2 input plugs and it was still messing up
