To the buss. All the side chain send does is control the compressor, the regular buss send contains the audio that then gets processed.

How can something so simple get to 3 pages?
Vocal track on Track1 OUTPUT = Master Bus
Create Buss (say BussA) OUTPUT = Master Bus
On BussA put Delay and Comp/Gate (either will work)
Set Delay to 100% wet
Create SEND on vocal track to BussA
Create SEND on vocal track to sidechain input of Comp/Gate

.....what's so hard????

So basically the solution to my problem was at FastBikerBoy and Jeff Evans described, with a dedicate bus containing a delay set to 100% wet and a sidechain compressor immiediately after. Now the problem is, my primary delay effect (z3ta+ effect) cannot be set to 100% wet... the dry is fixed, and you can only adjust the wet. Anyone know if there IS a way to set z3ta+ to 100% wet?? Or if there is a free delay VST out there that can do multiple simultaneous delays (which is why I use z3ta+)??

does it matter?? you're ducking it.

Here's an example with the dry vocal panned hard right and the delayed ducked vocal panned hard left.
