Whenever I solo a track that is being sidechained from an external source (so let's say I solo a bass that is getting a trigger from a kick) I've noticed that sometimes the sidechaining stops working, but other times it doesn't.

For me the preferred behavior would be that somehow even if I solo the bass, it will still receive the sidechain trigger from the kick. That way, if I want to render the bass track I don't have to set-up the sidechain again.

I just can't figure out why it only works sometimes. I mostly set my sidechain up in the same way, but in one project it will be fine and in another when I solo the bass the sidechain isn't coming through.

Anyone who can help me out on this?

Maybe try sending your sidechain signal post fader.

Could it be that when you solo the bass track you are effectively muting the kick send so the bass side chain is receiving no signal?
You may need to ensure that the kick (sidechain send) is not muted when soloing the bass as per previous post.

Maybe one day I'll actually finish a project!
