Using the Smack! Side-Chain Input

Smack! supports 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sample rates. It works with mono, stereo, and greater-than-stereo multichannel formats up to 7.1.

Sample rates of 176.4 and 192 kHz with the TDM version of Smack! require an HD Accel card, and only work with mono, stereo, and greater-than-stereo multichannel formats up to 7.0. These higher sample rates are not supported by HD Core™ and HD Process™ cards

In general, when working with stereo and greater-than-stereo tracks, use the multichannel version of Smack!.

Multi-mono plug-ins, such as dynamics-based or reverb plug-ins, may not function as you expect. Use the multichannel version of a multi-mono plug-in when available.

The TDM version of Smack! introduces 5 samples of delay. The RTAS version of Smack! introduces 1 sample of delay.
