How do you modulate plugins on an audio track?

Logic allows you to modulate plugin parameters on MIDI channels by inserting a MIDI FX in the chain. This cannot be done on regular audio channels.
This method, I believe, is the quickest way to apply MIDI FX modulator to your audio plugin chain.

Glad you found it! Happy to help :)

Great tip! It's ridiculous that we can't use modulator on audio tracks still.
If you have problems with latency and side chaining you could also convert your wav to a sampler (right click convert...) and have it played back by your sampler as one track. However you'll not be able to edit the audio region after the conversion.

Hi. Thanks for the video, but when I turn the audio track to ‘no output’ it won’t feed the sidechain of compressor. In your video the meter of the audio track is moving. In my case, the audio track meter is empty (no signal) once it set to ‘no output’. Can you help?

Hi, that's odd because no matter how you've got the output set, the LED should still display what it _would_ send to an output you could hear. You're saying that when you route the audio channel to the compressor side-chain, and the compressor is set to 'LISTEN' you can't hear anything routed through the compressor?
