Sidechaining possible?

hi,
Was wondering if it was possible to sidechain a compressor/limiter in Vegas. The idea would be to have the musical track lowering level while a narrative is going on. I can't find info in the manual about this.
Thank's.

sort of

dB audioware plugs do sidechaining and drumagog 3 does sidechain ducking

TC had a somewhat working sideg=hain thing as well

The dB-D compressor was just the ticket, worked great, easy to use and cheap. Many thanks.

I bought the dB-D dynamic processor and it work great at ducking soundtrack for a narator but it doesn't seem to support automation. Not a loss because it's good quality and it will serve well for 90% of what I need to do.

Just in case somebody knows of a similar plug-in that work just as well but does support automation, could you post the name or link here please?

Thank you.

I think calewalk now distributes one that does, but just like with the ultrafunk stuff, cakewalk seems to be hiding the db stuff

not positive
