Side Chain Pops & Clicks

As the title says really. Whenever I sidechain something to my kick alot of the time I get a clicking effect when the compressor first kicks in. How would I go about solving this? I have tried numerous things(attack, relsease, knee etc) but they don’t seem to have the desired effect.

Would this be down to using a kick drum with a transient not suited towards the side chaining I’m after?

Thanks for any help.

it’s sound like there’s so much threshold…

is the pumping effect a bit odd? if yes look at the threshold and the ratio …

It could be the threshold. Try adjusting your Knee to around 5, keep Ration down and give yourself a slower release and attack time.

is this using abletons compressor?

Yes it’s using Abletons compressor. I think you guys nailed it. I had the threshold at -40 but when I brought it back up it was alot less noticeable.

Thanks everyone
