I usually just use my same kick sample, just shortened a bit, and do this same thing ^

You'll notice if you want your sidechain to affect right when the beat hits (ie. the shortest attack possible) you'll get the intense clicking sound from the tiniest bit of sound hitting before it dips down - so usually I'll put the trigger a little bit off-beat before the beat, and give myself a good attack (like 2-3 ms or so) so it smooths it out and is equally low on volume when the beat hits. I feel doing it this particular way gives you the most control over sidechaining

You are doing it all wrong, you need to buy two virus ti's to control an ms-20 filter which in turn controls a dbx160 compressor. that's the correct way to do it.

Right...because I have ALOT of money to spend.

I think that was already covered but the way I'm doing it is to create additional layer/channel for the kick, deactivate it (usually is my first channel) and side-chained to the kick (watch the difference between long, deep, heavy kick and the short and dry one, you will be surprise what kind of action side-chain can have) ---> my $0.02.

Cheers,

Darek
