It's very "Late mid early post-techno late electronica"...
Good use of a "post-" hyphenate! Those are always good for describing genres.

Bristol sent me a step by step on Sony Acid...Ive yet to translate it into ableton but I can forward it to you...I also found a freebie side chain compressor to fiddle with rather than shelling out on a plug in

I found this for ableton
http://sonictransfer.com/side-chain-compression-tutorial.shtml
which Im going to do alongside Bristols explanation (which I hope he doesnt mind me posting)
"Duplicate the bass track.
Make two tracks of kick only
Make 3 busses
Route L channel (Hard pan left)only of bass track 1 to Bus 1
Route R channel (hard pan right) of Kick track 1 to Bus 1
Route R channel only (Hard pan Right) of Bass track 2 to Bus 2
Route L channel (Hard Pan Left) of Kick track 1 to Bus 2
Put a C1 compressor/side chainable compressor on busses 1 and 2
On bus 1 the compressor sidechain function is set so that the R channel (Kick) causes the compressor to engage but compression happens to the L Channel (Bass). The plug in only out puts the compressed signal by default in side chain mode, in this case L CHannel of the bass that is now ducking each time the kick hits. the Kick input is silently feeding the compressor
On bus 2 the compressor sidechain function is set so that the L channel (Kick) causes the compressor to engage but compression happens to the R Channel (Bass). The plug in only out puts the compressed signal by default in side chain mode, in this case R Channel of the bass that is now ducking each time the kick hits. the Kick input is silently feeding the compressor
I now have two Mono hard panned left and right Bass channels that are ducking in time with the Kick hits. so I rout busses 1 and 2 to a third bus which means I now have a single stereo bus that controls the ducked/Sidechained bass that I can add EQ Reverb or whatever."
I think between them Ill get this sussed over the weekend

Yeah the real key is to figure out how to "Key" the compressor with one sound and have it compress the other
if you have a sidechainable vst you just have to figure out how to get the "keying" track into it to cause it to engage on the track you want to compress
That seems to be the bigest variable within DAWs as to whether track to track routing can be done or if you need to do it though using multiple busses and duped tracks. In ACID it was fairly compex but (From what I was reading) Fairly similar to how you would do it with hardware. It could be a lot simpler on other DAWs if you are able to route sounds from one track into the VSTs on another

just pm'd you...cant believe how easy this was..
Have a separate duplicate kick track
stick a side chain compressor on the bass track
press the sidechain button
route the kicks main out into the basses sc comp
fiddle with ratio and thresh-hold to hear it pumping
fucking revolutionary lol

if you dont have sidechain on your existing plug ins this is the free one Ive been playing with this afternoon...cool it works

Reminds me of the scene in Blade, where all the vampires are dancing and blood starts coming out of the sprinkler system... Don't you need a dose of ecstasy to listen to this? Pretty cool sounding.
