Access to other Tracks in the DAW

[moppen]

How is it possible to get access to other tracks in the DAW. I'd like to build vst plugins that can stream other track e.g. as a sidechain.

Yo can't control what the DAW offers. That's not the concept of VST. But you can tell the DAW, what you expect to get. For example, if you create 4 mono inputs, you can use them as 2 stereo pairs, for example for the main stream and a sidechain. Compressors often work this way.

Thank you tulamide. I tried it and it worked so far. I can choose many sidechains in my pluginwindow, all routed on the sidechainstream in the plugin, poorly they are not separated.
I am searching for a way to get many (sidechain) streams in my plugin that stand for different tracks in the daw. I like to effect them individually. I tried with more than 4 mono inputs but it didn´t work. Is there a way to handle this?
