Good morning

I have read the manual and it is not clear what problem I have. Let me explain.

My DAW is Samplitude Pro X8. I have an electric guitar channel in which I have two ProQ3 plugins installed, which, using sidechain and dynamic equalization, attenuate the bass and percussion masks. I have verified that when I open the first instance, which is the one that attenuates the bass masks, the Q point also moves with the sound of the percussion, even though this second point is at a different frequency. And if I open the ProQ3 that attenuates the percussion, I see that the Q also moves with the sound of the bass. That is, both plugins act at the same time.

Also, since the two plugins are on the same channel, when I check the activation checkboxes for the instruments, I see that both instruments have the checkboxes activated, so they act together, and this is not what I want.

In Samplitude, when a channel sidechains with another, the first channel becomes an auxiliary channel and so this is where the problem lies. I think it is a problem with the sidechain routing in Samplitude and not with the plugins themselves, as I have found the same behavior even with native Samplitude plugins.

Samplitude is summing or sharing the sidechain signal on the same channel instead of keeping them separate.

How can I fix this?
