Trouble with Side Chaining in Reason

I have been following the “how to make french house” tutorial in Reason. I am at the part where you have to side chain the fuzzy bass sound with a ReDrum into a MCompressor. I followed all the instructions but when I hit the drum sample to trigger the compressor, the gain doesn’t light up/nor do I get the side chain to work…

What am I doing wrong? Thanks



EDIT:// So I noticed that the volume bar on the ight side of the Mcompressor (right underneath the “Bypass-On-Off” area) lights up but the Gain volume bar in the middle doesn’t light up.

Hi Franz - i will have a word with graham and see if we can figure out why that might be happening
