Hi Tayzonday,
If I'm understanding you correctly you can absolutely do this in your current version of Sonar. Just select the tracks you want to bounce, click "track", then "bounce to tracks". In the following window choose "buses" as your Source Category, then choose which bus you want as your source, choose a destination and click OK. Easy peazy :)

Thanks! I do see the exact same help dialog in my help file -- so you're probably right. 


I feel so dumb. When it says "The Track view Tracks > Bounce to Track(s) command lets you . . . "  . . . as far as I know I AM in the Track View ( View Menu at top, then select "track view") . . . 


I see no "Track" menu from which to start this sequence. As you see in my screenshot, my menus at the top are File, Edit, Views, Insert, Process, Project, Utilities, Window, Help. 


Where do I find the "Tracks" that leads to the "Bounce to Track(s)?" . . . it's not on the top menu.

Just below the transport buttons, in the track view menu bar. BTW, if you don't need the original tracks after bouncing, archive the tracks. That will reduce the CPU load and still have the tracks available (via unarchive) should you need to go back to the original tracks for some reason. I usually put the tracks that are archived into a folder of their own.

Does this work: Insert new audio track. Insert Sonitus:Gate or Compressor to FX bin. Open FX GUI and set Gate or Compressor to monitor Sidechain input. Insert send to the bus and target it to Sonitus:Gate or Compressor sc input.

Thanks! I found it. Through this process it is possible to complete each take using both mics, send that to a bus and and then bounce the result to its own track if I choose. Not exactly real-time but still potentially useful.

Thanks for the suggestion! I am able to send the bus to the plugin and place the plugin in the audio track's FX bin -- but seem unable to get the sidechain audio to pass "through" the plugin to the audio track in any useful way. 

I guess passing the signal through is not what side-chaining is designed for, but it would still be nice to be able to do it.
