Just wondering if anyone thinks there is a better compressor available for sidechaining then the compressor in abelton 8 I have played around with the knee, threshold attack and release times but I still can seem to get a compression as smooth as the one in the following track any advice would be appreciated.

thanks
The main control yu should be adjsting is release… This will control the speed of the rise back…
Abketon comp is decent but with really fast releases <20ms can sound a bit grainy.
Prob is most other comps sidechainging is more complicated to set up.
I usually turn off the make-up gain… sounds less aggressive.
Turn it off before you turn on the sidechain.
Also change between the different comp settings - Peak/Opto/RMS… and types - FB/FF1/2 - to see what sounds best.
Think I normally end up going with Peak or Opto & FF1? :ermm:
