Actually, since these are VST plug-ins, I'd guess the implementation of
sidechaining at the plug-in level is standard VST stuff.

I tried downloading the plug-ins and installing them just to check this out
(and to check the plug-ins themselves out if/when I have time).

When you load "reacomp-standalone" (the plug-in name -- ugh!) in SONAR, you
also get an insert option on other tracks and buses for
"reacomp-standalone(Input 2) - <trackname>" where <trackname> is the name of
the track the first reacomp plug-in is sitting on. This is the normal way
sidechain inputs appear in SONAR, albeit not always with such unwieldy
names. ;-)

As for the plug-in itself, its Detector input dropdown lists 7 options, 3
for Main Input (L+R, L, R), 3 for Auxiliary Input (L+R, L, R), and Output
(Feedback). Based on this, I'd guess SONAR's sidechain send would be
feeding the Auxiliary Input.

One thing I noticed in the ReadMe file for the plug-ins is that these
"standalone" (i.e. for use outside of Reaper) plug-ins are constrained to
having 32-bit host/plug-in interfaces, whereas the ones available within
Reaper apparently have 64-bit interfaces. SONAR's display of the plug-ins
confirms that they are only showing up as 32-bit plug-ins. What do you want
for free, right? ;-)
