    Can't figure thus out at all. I use side chain compression a lot to get a nice swell around the kick.

    using 1.8. There has to be a way to do this. Otherwise, it's pretty much worthless using standalone in my opinion. looked into plug ins with not much luck: sidekick seems incredible but my super limited credit card can't do overseas transactions. Other programs can only do 4/4 side chaining(kickstart etc.), not worth it. Just bought maschine a couple months ago and really don't want to dump more money into upgrades quite yet. Right now, the only way I can finish tracks is to make sounds in maschine, then export into reason via sampler and go from there. Terrible for work flow. Can't go back to just using reason now that I've dove into massive. Super frustrated.

    Unfortunately you can't do side chaining in 1.8. It's a pity that you can't obtain Sidekick as this worked well for me before I upgraded to 2.0.

    You can definitely do side chaining in 1.8 in standalone mode with third party plugins.

    Try searching this forum.

    He could use TAL-Filter 2 which is free and does volume sidechaining: http://kunz.corrupt.ch/products/TAL-Filter
    You can also use this to automate filter cutoff instead of amplitude which makes a pretty unique effect that still ducks away the audio on the beat.

    If he already owns Reaktor, he can also use the free Reaktor sidechain compressor ensemble that sowari made:
