hi.
when i export a project and click the box „save as seperate programs“ the sidechain information is saved in the exported tracks (for example the kick in program 1 triggers the compressor on a sample in program 2).
when i export the project and check the box to save each track as a seperate file the sidechain triggers are lost.

is there a way to trigger the sidechain while saving as seperate tracks?
of course it is all super doable when exporting as seperate programs, but seperate tracks would be one mor step more convenient^^

while trying, i also discovered a bug. when i put the mother ducker input on a send channel (slot1) and put a channel strip in the second slot on the send channel to mute the signal afterwards,the recieving mother ducker will just randomly jump when getting the trigger for compression. If you have the software, maybe you can help and send that bug to akai (I know, not your personal army, but i dont have a laptop with the software to send bugs to akai)

I’m pretty sure this is impossible. I stopped using mother ducker for this exact reason. I don’t use a daw and just send the stems to the artists I work with straight from mpc so using it was pointless for me.

I didn’t really ever use it for mixing but more of an effect and had a couple beats where the artist asked why stems sounded different so I stopped using it.

But if I’m wrong I hope somebody let’s us know
