i understand that the signal channel e.g a copied kick controls wen the duck effect comes in on the bassline but say i have the standard...

kick....bass....kick....bass

signal..bass....signal..bass

does that mean that because the signal isnt on the same note as the bassline that it doesnt get the duck effect??

and to get the effect on that bassline id need to move the signal to.....???

kick....bass....kick....bass

........signal..........signal

if someone would please clear that up for me???

thanks....j

you're confusing yourself i believe. but what you wrote above is correct. their's no duck if theres only 1 signal but once their are signals on top of each other, the one with the sidechain(typically the bass) will duck.

Yes, however: On your compressor you also have a setting called release that controls how fast the compressor will release the compression. So even though their might be a signal at the same time as the bass, if the release is set high, the compressor will still compress the signal when the bass is playing. This is one way to achieve that "slow attack" bassline.
