Side Chain pre fader

Please excuse if this has already been mentioned. I did a search but nothing came up.
It would be nice to have the option of having the side chain send pre fader/mute.
One example is that in a kit track I might have a number of elements side chained off the kick drum. When improvising with mutes I would like the side chain to keep active. Currently as soon as the kick drum is muted all side chain processing stops (at least in Kits - I haven't checked anything else).
Comments
sidechain suggestions and inputs are quite scattered. was discussed a few times.
imho we should have one sidechain compressor thread where we can discuss improvements.
absolutely agree with your suggestion, sidechain source should be muteable and still apply as a modulator.
imho the "worst" is that sidechain source depends on the sample name, i dont want to rename samples just to get sidechain compression. for me all sidechain improvements have to address this first.

I’m pretty sure the mute function doesn’t mute the audio in kit mode but just stops sending the midi note.
Side chain still works if you turn the volume of send track to zero.
That is correct but exactly my point: turning down the audio volume is not practical. There might be more than one (kick) drum which one would like to mute - very easy to do with one press of several buttons but definitely not possible using the volume control.
