I create SC “broadcasting” arrays of group channels, usually about four of them: SC (Part 1), SC (Part 2), and so on. Each feeds into the next to create a single long chain of side-chains. The 4 chained channels just null-terminate (they don’t connect to an audible output). This gets around Cubase’s horribly arbitrary and outdated 8 send limit.
The 4 new group channels (that act as one), each with its 8 slots for sends, combine to a total of 32 sending areas.
Now, just send your kick to the SC (Part 1) – it will flow through all 32 slots. You’ll have 32 slots to play with, to send out to the various group channels and stems with your Pads, Noise washes, Risers, etc. I mean, a little SC on just about everything, is not off the table.
