there's an example in the tips and tricks sticky. Live does not come with any plug ins that do sidechain compression, but you can use sidechain compression in Live, such as Creamware's Vanilla compressor.

basically you use one signal to gate another, such as a kick gating a bassline so they don't step on each other but they work together tighter.
