I've played around with the Calf Sidechain Compressor plugin but I fear I don't understand how it works, I keep hearing the sound I want to duck with (so the kick) while I only want that to be the signal on which the compressor reacts. I also get a lot of distortion. Maybe you have a better understanding of it but personally I think the LADSPA SC3 (from the swh package) is a better option.
Hello Phil,

For what it's worth, I've uploaded a qtz file here: http://downloads.autostatic.com/temp/Sidechaining.qtz
