I set the ratio at 6:1 with a fast attack and a hard knee. I then use the HP feature to let the bass guitar ring through except for the low end when the kick is engaged. This allows the kick to be heard over top of the low end of the bass without having to duck the whole instrument.Hey Kirk
great bit of advice regarding setting up side chain compression. I often use this myself, but only full band compression. Using EQ on sidechain is brilliant!
Thx for listening, cheers, Simon
Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
