I have been trying to figure out how to add that "pumping" side chain compression that I hear in a lot of dance tracks, but have not quite figured out to get it to sound right.

I am using ableton 8, and I see the sidechain button on the compressor, but that is where I get lost. I map it to a 4/4 drum pattern that I have created, but it just doesn't sound right. I can hear the kick and I am not hearing my bass sound change in any way.

Anyone happen to know how to achieve this? Thanks!
