Ahoy, landlubbars. So, quick question: what step in Ableton's processing chain (AL9) does the track delay sit?
I just realized that all of my sidechaining could be off (I love the track delay, has tons of uses) when I use it. Basically, it could duck the signal and then delay, which would suck. It'd push old tails OVER the trigger, and it'd push ducks wayyy past where they need to be, leaving "huge" unnecessary gaps.
So, to specify further, would the entire track's track delay happen pre-fader? Post-fader? Post-mixer? If I could find this out, I could still use the track delay, and I could just set the SC to whatever I need to make sure it happens AFTER the whole track is delayed.
I looked around everywhere for this, but given all the delay and sidechain questions, info on this is very hard to find. The OP of the only thread about it was completely ignored, and they just gave him general definitions of what he already knew lol.
