How do i side-chain SurferEQ 2 in Ableton Live?

Hi, would be great if someone can answer this for me.

I’m pretty much fresh off the boat in the music production world, however, I watch a video with the S.EQ2 in Logic and applying side-chain on that DAW was straight forward.

Is there a method as simple as this in Ableton 9?

Ableton Live 9 (and especially VST2 is less side-chain friendly )
AU is simpler but both are done similar on Live.

Here it’s on Live with VST (since VST would work the same for Windows).

Hi @THAOTHERZ,
Side-Chain of course works just fine with Ableton Live 10.
with the exact workflow suggested above.
