Filtering External Audio with Ableton Live

[skeer562]

In the Filters-Amplifier Tutorial it discusses Filtering External Audio.  I was able to patch Ext Out to the External In.  However, it says, "Then in your DAW, route audio from another track to the plug-in's audio input.".  I'm really not sure how to do that.  I tried some different things, but it didn't work.
I had a loop playing in another channel, and I wanted to process it through the MS 20 V filter as described in the tutorial.

Hello,

That depend on if and how your DAW route audio to instrument plugins.

Thanks for the reply LBH.  I'm still hoping someone with Ableton experience can provide step by step instructions.

Well you did'nt tell which DAW you had before, so i don't get you write "still hoping".

I don't use Live, so i can't give you a step by step guide. Basicly the procedure is the same as for routing audio into any other instrument, so it's mostly a DAW question.
I know Live's channels have "Audio From" and "Audio To" selectors, and they are probably in use. Perhaps involving Sidechain feature.

If you wan't reply from an exsperienced Live user, then i suggest you ask in Ableton forum. But i i actually don't think it's that difficult, if you just load Arturia MS.20 in Live - perhaps in VST3 format. I can not use VST2 in my DAW Studio One, if i wan't to use the external audio in feature. But then it's just to use the Sidechain feature Studio One have now to get things like this to work. Quite simple really.

I found the answer in the FAQ:
