Hey all,
So I’m working on a plugin that convolves the audio from a main bus with a sidechain. I’ve been following the NoiseGate plugin as a reference for sidechaining.
When a correct mono bus is fed into the sidechain, it works perfectly. My issue is that when “no key input” is selected, I get what seems to be random samples; sometimes it’s nothing, sometimes it’s the main bus, sometimes it’s horrendously loud noise.
How can I detect if “no key input” has been selected so that I don’t expose the user to an wanted sound? I haven’t been able to find the answer. ProTools always gives me a sidechain input with 1 channel, even when no key input is selected.
I don’t think it’s my code but it’s bizarre that I get such randomness when no sidechain input bus is selected so I’d be happy to share.
Thanks for any help or advice.
