Is there any way to do side chain compression. I think I understand what it is and I think I need some help trying to do it.

Sidechaining takes one sound and uses it to manipulate another sound. Most often you will see it on compressors, gates, limiters, and expanders. However, it can also be found on vocoders, synthesizers, and other effects. It is a really, really useful feature on compressors and gates because it allows you to place multiple instruments in the same frequency range without clashing. Or, more succinctly, it can make your mix sound really good.

that last post was from a site i found. online explaining it with a VST they offer I was hoping that there is a way in acid to do it - using its own native stuff. - Am I off my rocker here or do I make sense?
