Hay guyth!

I always used to use sidekick or the dbaudioware plugins for sidechaining. Now that Cubase 4 has proper sidechaining support, I've obviously began using the inbuilt compressor. However, I have had a lot of difficulty getting it to sound right. I have the following settings:

Threshold: as needed
Ratio: 8:1
Attack: 0.1
