Hello,
The usage of the external side chain input depends on the application. In the case of RTAS and AU the side chain feature can be used as in other plug-ins having this feature.
In VST applications you need to notice that PSP MixPressor2 and PSP MasterComp are still VST 2.4 plug-ins. In this case you need to manually establish a four channel track or a buss first, then route your main stereo signal to L and R and your side chain control signal to another pair of inputs, then insert the plug-in into such a track or a buss. Now clicking on the EXT button should switch the plug-in to use external side chain signal.
Regards,
