I've been digging the forums all day trying to find a solution for this very problem using FabFilter Pro L2 with external sidechain enabled. I've tried Logic Pro X (10.8.1), Reaper (7.15) and Luna to no avail. I can successfully get the sidechain to trigger the detection circuit, but the plugin isn't limiting and it's clipping.
I've got the stem groups routed to a mix buss with Pro L2 at the very end and I have an un-limited mix as the source of the external sidechain to use against the stem printing. When I enable the sidechain during playback, the detection circuit is being triggered by the un-limited mix, but the limiter is clipping. When I turn the sidechain off, the limiting enables again.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's really a head scratcher. I've read previous reports of Logic latency issues potentially causing this.
As a test, I've also tried using the stock Logic compressor with limiting enabled, and the same thing is happening. When external sidechain is enabled, it clips, but it works when disabled.
As far as I can tell, I'm having the same issue with Reaper and Luna using the normal sidechaining methods, respectively.
I've got an M1 Max, Sonoma.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears
