Compressor

We get a bunch of compressors in Sonar X1/X2. Ever since X1 I have not use any third party compressors. I am most likely to rely on the PC in Sonar. I have all the add on modules for the PC.

Check out this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2725188

Thanks for info

What I am looking for is a compressor that can side chain with massive response , I will be producing dance music , so say a clap kicks in then the kick ducks underb?

Any advice ? 

Ta

I have x1 expanded

I will try them all out

This video by Cakewalk demonstrates using the PC4K S-Type to sidechain.  Look from 4:30 onwards for your needs.

As scook says, the Sonitus Gate is also very good. It gives you better control with its hold time allowing you to ,in essence, create your own 'pump envelope'. It is crash prone though with heavy fiddling (the sidechain dies and it stops pumping) so regular saves and template making is advised.
  As you already own both of the above compressors I see no harm in recommending you have a look at 'Vengeance Multiband Sidechain' if you don't already know of it. It's built to do this one thing only, which the aforementioned comps aren't really, and it gets rid of the constant need for 'sidechain management' and the need for trigger tracks (it syncs to host) which I always found got in the way of the creative flow.
