I don't achieve a good sounding bass when sidechaining with the kick. I wonder if someone could share with me a sidechaing set up or some tips;

* Which attack and release times do you set for the bass? Whenever I sidechain with software I find it quite difficult to find a compressor which can deal with fast attacks and basses.

* How much gain reduction do you need in the bass so the kick opens the bass line with no muddiness?.

* Any equalization advise? When sidechaining sometimes I find the whole bass line a bit muddy. I cut at 240hz-340hz and boost at 800hz but sometimes I just can't find the point at all.
