Cant get mix right

I have a couple of sidechained things gouing on in the below sample. I like the sidey effect but when its siechained how i like it its too low in the mix and upping the gain on sidecomp doesn't help. So I split the melody off down a seperate side chain track of its own and used a brickwall limiter and relaxed the side chain setting a little this makes it stick out to much. Im posting 2 samples on fully sided and stuff which i like but has problems mentioned above an one where the leads are clearer but mix seems to loose energy. I want somewhere between i think can anyone help samples below

Thanks

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.

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.

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
