    Has anyone encountered a problem using softube plugins in reaper daw, specifically about sidechaning? here is the text from reaper forum:

    "First off, they seem to have a long-standing issue with VST3 in Reaper. The i/o configuration is always defaults to 2 in, 1 out, and cannot be configured past 3 in, 2 out (so, mono sidechain). Vst2 is fine at 4 in 4 out at default."

    They added stereo sidechain for VST3 in a recent update.

    If you are only using R2R releases you won't be able to use stereo sidechain, but if you own some legit plugins you can simply update to the latest version. If you don't own the plugins legit and really need the sidechain to be in stereo, then I suggest using a different plugin.
