Externally Routed Sidechain Options

[blush]

Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to create a basic sidechain plug-in within HISE. I tried using the two ScriptFX snippets in the example snippets and could not figure out how to get them to work with an external input (ex, kick track from your DAW). Testing it is also somewhat time consuming since I have to compile the plug-in each time since I guess you can't really test this within HISE. I have little to no knowledge of scripting but was hoping to save some time and see if anyone knew how this could be achieved? I am okay using gain modulation for ducking as well as compression, I just want the DAW to be able to recognize a sidechain option (I have successfully gotten this far) and I want it to actually take that input from the DAW and use it to duck the track the plug-in is on, in the DAW (I am yet to get here as this would make it complete).

Any help would be appreciated, I apologize in advance if this is a relatively boring question but I am quite new to HISE still!

Compile a debug build, it's much faster. Or you can try compiling HISE itself as a plugin.
