# Sidechain Limiter

## Functionality

The Sidechain Limiter is a Multiband Limiter with an additional input - the so called sidechain. This input is treated like a single band of the limiter which means that its signal is taken into account for the multiband processing. The sidechain is also mixed into the main signal afterwards.

## Tips

Use Sidechain Limiter for mastering a multitrack project where some of your (important) single tracks perish against the overall mix.

E.g. a lead vocal track is sometimes superimposed by other instruments:
Route an AUX send from the vocal track to the sidechain. The send level of the AUX determines the presence of the lead vocals.
