Reaper, selecting "sidechain input", Neutron 4 Unmask?

camtwister

Hello,

I am using Neutron 4 with Reaper (v7.15).

I wish to use Unmask as a VST3 plug-in.

The option to select the sidechain input is not visible.

Please see the screen shot.

How do I rectify this?

Thank you.

Resizing the VST window or changing the UI view does not help.

(Intel MacOS Monterey 12.7.4)

I have a workaround, pending input from the knowledgable folks here.

If I route the track, within which is the waveform to be used as the sidechain trigger, to the track with the Unmask plug-in installed, via audio channels 1/2 to channels 3/4, Neutron detects the sidechain signal.

I’d still like to see all of the buttons in Neutron, however!

I have exactly the same problem makes the side chain features of both Neutron Compressor and Unmask virtually useless. :-/

The workaround described above will enable you to use those features, until an update is available.

I am using Reaper 7.16 and I used the Unmask plugin last night for bass guitar and kick drum. I added the module to the bass track and then on the kick drum track, I clicked and dragged the "Sends" icon over to the Unmask module and that was it. That action created the sidechain for me without any additional tweaks. From there I just needed to optimize settings on the Unmask module. I had sidechain issues in the past with Reaper but perhaps one of the latest updates fixed this.
