Mixing with sidechain

I finally learned how to mix my siongs using a sidechain effect on the compression. Sidechain works this way: when sound "A" reaches a certain level sound "B" lowers its volume. Its used in live transmissions from stadiums and such, everytime someone talks the background noise gets down.

Now, you set the kick as the "A" sound and the bass as the "B" sound, so, everytime the kick enters, the bass lowers its attack for a very short time, so both can be heard without anyone getting on top of the other.

THIS THING IS AWESOME!!
