Try changing the audio hit or midi hit you are using to trigger the sidechain.

I've found if I need a sidechain to be sharper I use a hat to trigger it, if I want a fatter effect then I use a reasonable bass drum.

Another option may be to keep the sidechained riff sounding right but low in the mix then run the sidechained riff into another compressor / limiter on a send channel to tweak the volume a bit.

Just my 2p's worth, I'm not the most experienced in it.

I cant help you, but i gotta say this melody has great potential.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Was humming the track to and from the store just now.

Anyways, i think u can ditch this bassline and make a different one.. could maybe help. But i got to say it doesnt sound too bad really. almost there.

The sign of a good hook if people can humm it after hearing the tune.

TBH mate the track is at development stage and nothing is concrete yet literally just trying to get it all gelling nicely at the moment I may well change the bassline. Glad u like the melody
