Hello,

My podcasting template implements sidechain compression for ducking music and room bleed. The music bed track shows the sidechain options as they should be (no additional busses needed). However, my other tracks are all missing sidechain source options. I alternatively set up "Voice 1" the old-school bus send way, which was successful, but all the other tracks were missing those send options as well. 

Is this a bug and is there any way to fix it? Session screenshots included below:

Thank you for your assistance!

Sometimes I see busses missing in side chain if adding the bus would create a "loop". Maybe that's your case?
