Bizarrely I have an Alesis 3630 in the cupboard, I'll wack it across a pair of ins and outs on the computer and try it on the mix tomorrow :)
yeah, try that! dunno i suggest you try both the sidechaining avec the bass flining it over the master to see what yields the best results.

i was googling for this prydz thing and found sth. describing what rounser said about the highpass thing just to find out it was rounser who posted :lol:

"I've been messing with sidechaining a lot recently...e.g. the Eric Prydz trick is to have the bass get sidechain ducked/gated completely by the kick, but have a high passed version of the bass kick in when the normal bass gets ducked. "

from the k-v-r forums:

"Prydz as well as others swear by the Alesis 3630 compressor.
They use it on the master track mostly to get that pumping effect."

keep us posted plz!
