looking at buying this multi band as i love what the other programs do in sonar. for the life of me i can't get a multi band compressor side chain to work in sonar. sonitus says it has side chain on it's multi which would be great, but the sends on the buses can not find this side-chain.(if find the single compressor just fine) anyone getting a multi band compressor side chain to work in x3?
  also wondering if anyone had got any of the waves multi bands to side chain with sonar x3?

Yes the FabFilter Pro-MB sidechain works in X3.
 
The Sonitus MultiBand does not have a sidechain. In the Sonitus Suite only the Compressor and Gate have a sidechain see https://www.cakewalk.com/...mp;help=Mixing.30.html
 
Any Waves VST3 plug-in that has a sidechain feature should work in X3.

cool, thank you for the info. didn't want to spent 200 bucks and not have that option. i already use lp-64 a lot, but would like to side chain it. another question if i may... what is your favorite multi band compressor's and why?

I am a longtime fan of FabFilter stuff, but in all honesty Meldaproduction's MDynamicEQ is better than Pro-MB and less than 40 bucks on sale. And yes, it's side-chainable.

wow, pretty cool stuff. had to do some reading one it. a frequency-selective compressor with the word eq in the tittle...lol might pick up one of these too and see which one i like better. i am used to having moving filters on the waves like multi band provides, but this is very interesting to me. thank you bitflipper.
   also bitflipper is your photo not at least 10 years old in this forum? lol (i am one to talk, never even take the time to post more than this generic sonar-yin-&-yang sign...

also: what type of memory hog is that program. by the looks of it, i would guess it's latency would be that of ozone 5 with all those features? with all the slate stuff i enjoy(also memory hogs) i've got to consider these types of questions.
