I think you can emulate sidechaining by drawing automation curve for the volume of the clip.

Volume changes can work, but, again, there is no control of swing. so you won't get that bounce that is very popular today. I would suggest URS 1980 compressor with sidechain.

i'm definitly not a person with many "tip or tricks" as i haven't been using live very long. .

but to get the side-chaining "ducking" effect in OSx WITH ableton's compressor, is it not possible just to have a compressor on a return track, and your "kick" and "intrument" sent through that?
cause that's what i did. and it sounds like "ducking" to me.

but, again. i'm new to live. and a don't usually make music that entails a great deal of sidechaining.
