thanks dan....
so, to make sure i understand....

in this scenario, i want to duck the bass when the kick is happening during certain vocal passes.

the comp is placed in the channel of the track you want to 'duck', or reduce level....(in this case, the bass track)

and the send is from the track you want to be the 'trigger' (in this case, the drum track)

then adjust the comp for the sensitivity needed to do the needed task...(in this case, fast attack, fast release)

i assume that you can automate the 'send' so i can have the ducking effect come and go at will?

Bat,

that all is correct, including the send idea (although I haven't tried that, it should work). I wonder if you just couldn't duck the bass from a vocal send? All the other sidechains you want follow the same steps.

Let us know if that don't fix you up.

Yes. Absolutely correct.
