Now i realise the compressors in live 6 only have a built in sidechain. But users of version 6, how do i sidechain my basslines in the more tradional way where i can use ratio's, thresholds, attack, release etc to make the bassline pulse?

just use a clip envelope to automate the volume, poor mans ducking.

had this very question last week, and this page helped me out: http://sonictransfer.com/side-chain-com ... rial.shtml There's a link to a free sidechain compressor on there, and the steps and pictures were very clear for me. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll see if i can help.
