Support for AUv3 Multi Inputs and Sidechaining (FX & Instruments)
planned
ultracello
Description:
Enable support for AUv3 plugins with multiple audio inputs, including standard sidechain inputs on FX and instruments (e.g. FabFilter Twin 3), and allow flexible audio routing between tracks to use this functionality.
Problem:
Loopy Pro currently doesn’t support AUv3 sidechain inputs or multi-input routing. This limits its use as a fully capable DAW for those relying on dynamics control or complex routing setups (e.g. ducking via sidechain compression).
Proposed Solution:
– Implement routing of audio from one track to the sidechain input of a plugin on another track
– Support AUv3 FX plugins with standard sidechain inputs
– Support instrument AUv3 plugins that also include sidechain inputs (e.g. FabFilter Twin 3)
– Allow use of multi-output AUv3 instruments with flexible routing to Loopy tracks or groups
– Provide clear UI elements to manage input/output routing between tracks and plugins
Benefits:
– Makes Loopy Pro viable as a standalone DAW for advanced users
– Enables mixing techniques like ducking, pumping, spectral sidechaining
– Makes full use of AUv3 plugins that already support these features
– Greatly enhances creative potential in sound design, live setups and dynamic control workflows

I'm also looking forward to this :)

please also consider implementing the ability to use sidechaininputs on instrument AUs (fabfilter’s Twin 3 has one). i think it’s not implemented anywhere on IOS right now. the abilty to sidechain (regular with AU FX sidechain inputs) would shift me more to using only Loopy as a DAW I guess..

I'm really looking forward to this one.

does this mean I will be able to send audio from one track in loopy standalone to for instance the sidechain input of a compressor effect plugin on another track?
